the problem I've seen, watching videos and downloading the manuals, is that the PTO HAS to be disconnected BEFORE you raise the 3PH up high enough to dump. They 'all' ,seem to be made the same, just different paint.
Hydraulic powered pump for concrete mixer
- Thread starter Lowlysubaruguy
- Start date
Im glad I posted here lots of great information. I’ll tinker with it over the weekend.
I prefer it to be front loader mounted the rear three point hook up is lacking in many ways not only do I not have great control when lining up and dumping the concrete I will need to ad one more auxiliary hydraulic function and come up with a cylinder thats long enough to achieve a full dump while being short enough to allow the bucket to tilt up enough for a full load of concrete. I know I can control the dump better with the loader than the rear three point and I wont get tractor neck from looking backwards for long periods.
Here is something on ebay I asked the seller about output RPMS with only 8 GPM flow rates. He stated the output RPMS would be 300 RPMs which in reality may be just fine for this applications this is a simple solution if I can in fact make a drive coupler to work beween the motor and the input shaft of the mixer. From what I remember I really didnt need ,much more than idle to spin that drum even full. And I may find this to be a good RPM range and keep me out of regen.
Take a look at this and throw out any concerns you might have.

It’s been a long time but every part of it was just a head ache not enough lift for a full dump maybe a much larger taller tractor might have a little more height here ? even if my top cylinder was able to get there but I actually think the angles weird regardless. And we did have to kill the PTO to dump makes the concrete sluggish to come out since it’s not spinning. Im hoping to mount this on the loader and spin it with hydraulics. Solves all of it.
My concern is lack of any real hydrauluc specifications.
Ask the seller what the displacement of the motor is.
It appears the only additional thing you would need is a PTO shaft of the proper length.
You keep upping the ante and moving the goal posts. I am moving more into the @hagrid camp - "the juice is not worth the squeeze".
But its your money not mine. If it were mine I would slap a 3-3.5 CID motor on the mixer, weld/bolt the mixer to a cheap SSQA adapter plate, and move on.

Thanks I’ll work this out in my head.
Thats what i came up with years ago but my concrete needs here were pretty much done at that point. simple solution is to just bolt a gas engine on it.
Theres a towable mixer with a chute that mixes quite a bit at one time for about what all this will run me by the time I get it right. It’s like throwing more money at a broken car there’s a point where you should have stopped. I mixed about 12 maybe 16 bags with this thing and even if it had worked perfectly it was still hand loading concrete i may have concrete delivered on the big projects ahead. The fence posts there easy enough one or two bags at a time in a wheelbarrow. The real push here is i have a shipping container this one time I won’t be able to get anything this size there in the future.
I’m old enough now make enough money i should pay to have most of this done but im always dissatisfied with the quality of there work.
It’s funny i wasnt even thinking about taking this until i saw it last week. It’s migrated to the back corner. Has two pallets of bricks in front of it.
