Don't know about the length of your blade. I think mine is 24 or 26 inches, the longest ride-on mower blade I could find. Next time I make a mixer I will definitely do the elephant trunk thing. I am now using a 8" pipe with a soccer ball that I inflate in it and deflate when it's time. Do you live in MA?
