I have a 1 sack mixer and it has mixed alot. The problem is I'm tired of screwing my back up for weeks after a pour (I think this is where wisdom comes in) I use 5 gal. buckets of sand to load the mixer. A bag of portland will fill 2 buckets and 10 buckets of sand makes a 5 sack mix (fine for sidewalks). I am going to build a small combine bin so I can use the loader to fill it. I need to make sure my math is right. I don't have scales so I use volume to get the right mixture.
A bucket is 11" dia x 13" deep. one bucket holds 1235.431 cu in X 10 buckets =12354.31cu in convert to cu ft is 7.149487. Is this right?
Now the bin will hold 7cu ft of sand so I just back the mixer up to the bin and open the gate to fill slowly add water and portland and my back won't get me down.
