There's a new video on youtube that shows a tow mixer with an "elephant trunk" type of exit. Don't remember the exact site but you can find it by doing a search. 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?

Subject: [papercreters] Building a tow mixer
I have built a tow mixer as the normal inst. advise. I used a fence post at 38 inches for a blade. Is this to long? It seems to catch the paper in clumps. Also put in a sliding gate for a door and it leaks alot. Should I go to a shorter blade (lawn mower 28 inch).
Thanks russ
