Hello, I've been looking at these 3 PH cement mixers, and have read the TBN forums on all of them. Has anyone bought the new Tractor Supply one, and used it? Or, the one offered by Sweet Farm Equipment? The TS unit is advertisted as an 8 cu. ft. unit, and the SFE is advertised on ebay as a 12 cu. ft. unit. I don't know if theses are total drum capacity, or batch mix sizing. I would think you could not fill the drum completly up, maybe just half size. So the 8 is really a 4 cu. ft., and the 12 is a true 6 cu. ft. Any additional comments, experiences, obsevations will be appreciated. I was also wondering how well built are the drive trains. Metal gears? Heavy chain drive reduction? Thanks again, IH3444
