[papercreters] Re: rollers for stationary mixer

Yes yes yes jumping is badddddddddd trust us and it can happen both
ways. The mixer could lock up from lets say a phone book because the
dummy <<<<(me) didnt take the time to atleast half it threw it in,
locked the blade solid and the mixer jumped right off the rollers and
it was full. There were 6 3 inch pipes driven 4 ft. into the ground
with the rest of the top of them 5 ft in the air, banded to the mixer
it bent 3 of them like they were never there.Now theres the power I
have used go carts, cars, tractors, even a van. If you dont have a
dead man switch in your hand at ALLLL times and a way to lift the
whole thing up off its wheel chalked and blocked dont use rollers.
Your looking for trouble and there is nothing like having a runaway
van chasing you trust me been there done that also. I am not pouring
water on your fire there is a right and a wrong way to mixing with
rollers the wrong way can kill, its not worth it when its so simple
to fix. Look at my photes on the site under Kens stuff hope it helps.
