Looking for info on building 3 pt cement mixer. Any commercial plans available? Any one with drawings or pictures of homemade rigs that I could use as a guide?

Also considering finding used mixer needing motor (gas or electric) and modifying to accept PTO. Any experience with this approach?

Thank you.

Any weldors out there that maybe thought about build your own 3 pt. chain drive mixer?
I was playing with the idea of buiding my own cement mixer. It would have been a knock off of one of the newer chain drive, hyd. top link dump kind of mixer. Tub would be two cones 11 ga. welded back to back. Development of the cones was kinda interesting problem, but could be done. Then have sheet metal rolled by a shop.
It looked like time I bought the sprockets and other hardware it was cost prohibitive, so I gave up. bjr23

How about some more details on that bucket on the back.

Jerry, I don't have any more photos of the bucket at present.
I might be able to take some this spring after the snow goes - if it ever does.

Sweet tractor has a picture of one on their site: >Link

Value>Link Built Tractor also has one listed in their catalog for $700.

I would think you could hook up an old engine or motor driven unit to the 3 pt/pto with out to much trouble.

Years ago there was a commercial model that was tilted by the 3 ph to empty, and was driven by a roller mounted on the pto. The barrel had a tire mounted at the bottom (pto) end, which made contact with the pto roller. Dad made his own copycat version with a 55 gallon drum, similar drive. Now you could do the same, but using a hydraulic motor to drive it would work better, and would let you continue rotating the drum while empyting it.

I intended to build such a mixer using a big propane tank for the drum. I ran short of time and bought a mixer like TSC sells. Well, It would have been easier to build the thing, I think. We wanted to use it on a 960 Ford, and there was just NO way. The PTO was either too short, too long and both. I had to rig up a hydraulic motor to drive it. The hydraulic cylinder to dump it is very fragile, bent it right away, however it is cheesy enough to bend right back. Had a time trying to put a hose end on it, too, some sort of obscure British threads.
Mixing-wise, it did a good job. The problem using the hydraulic motor is that the hydraulic flow is prioritized and the lift arms keep dropping while the thing is mixing.
