Concrete mixer

[Tom Brown]

I'm thinking about modifying a small, gas powered concrete mixer so I can weld it onto a quick attach plate. Has anyone else tried doing this? It looks pretty straight forward, although I have some concerns about engine oiling and fuel dumping when I dump the load. Any advice?

The other way is to remove the engine and install a small hydraulic motor. I see the issue of oil splashing out and possible engine damage as you already pointed out.

It might be easier to mount a hydralic motor in place of the engine, gear it right . then you can tilt the drum at any angle powered off your aux. Scott

wouldn't a cement bowl on the end of an auger drive head work just as well?

Dont know how anyone else has made out above. I stole a brand new 3 point hitch mounted, pto driven cement mixer. I have a 3 pt hitch plate adaptor for the SS to pick up 3 pt implements, and mounted a hyd motor with a pto drive shaft on it. Cement mixer sat too close to use a pto shaft so I mounted its own motor with a sprocket for drive, but still attach it with the 3 pt adaptor. Turns it empty and I havent tried it with a bucket full of concrete yet but I am sure it will do well.
