Hi,
Not sure if this question belongs here or on the attachment side...but...it is kind of an operating question.
I see 3PH cement mixers hold 1/3 yard or there abouts. How do you get the mix into them? I know manual with a shovel is one way...but that would be a lot of work if one were mixing yards of stuff.
Alligator tears would flow if my loader was on the other end of the tractor and I was manually filling that mixer time...after time...after time...
I have patched holes in my driveway with a mix of crushed limestone and cement, sort of like no fines concrete. I am thinking of maybe just improving the driveway a little by using such a mix, rather than regular concrete. I like the gray color and rough texture. Call me strange, that's OK.
Anybody build a hopper set up of some type, that the 3ph mixer could be backed under and filled by opening a gate or whatever?
What I have pictured in my mind is something that could be filled with the loader, with some kind of opening in the bottom from which the stone could drop into the mixer from...a bag of cement could be dropped in on top of the stone, and here we go, so to speak.
Is there an easier way? Any lazy guys like me out there?
Just thinking out loud at the moment...won't be doing anything along these lines until next time the weather gets warm.
I just keep thinking...there must be an easier way than me and my shovel...
