Some have made a tow mixer but run it in a stationary mode by attaching it to the axle of an old vehicle that doesn't move. Seems like a good idea to me.

With that said . . . if don't have level terrain in which to make a loop with a tow mixer and already have pto power available AND have a good farm salvage yard nearby, I'm guessing the cost is a wash for a pto driven mixer <fingers firmly crossed>We'll know soon . . . carriage money is (purportedly) on the way, so mixer parts are on the list for things to scavenge from the tractor salvage yard in Albany when I drop the carriage off. Wahoo!I expect some challenges, but given we can't make a loop with a tow mixer unless I drive Boop girl around and around the yard which would piss Terry off (REALLY hates me driving on the grass), I think a pto driven mixer is a must. I'm going to try and build it so I can hitch it to the tractor and drive the mixer with the pto. Hitched to the tractor I can move the mixer anywhere I need it, tilting it by lifting the draw bar to aid in emptying. All plans subject to change without notice . . .On the plus side, I have now successfully sweated fittings. The new shower mixer valve is in place and WORKS. <happy dance> We again have running water and I'm clean! Yeah, yeah, TMI.ElfN----- Original Message -----From: Janoahsh
Thank You Curtis,
I was considering using a 500 gallon tank I have and fabricating a mixer. Your comment below has made me reconsider.
