We shouldn't forget that the standard tow-mixer is a seriously heavy duty mixer, made with the re-purposed rear end of a car or truck that was driven by a 100+ horse power engine, now being towed by a car/truck still providing 100+ horse power. This is a mixer capable of applying hundreds of pounds of horse power to the task of mixing paper.
We've not going to be able to cheaply replace the paper mulching capability of this low-cost heavy duty mixer with an old treadmill or electric AC/DC motors. We may be able to get the blade to spin with a treadmill but the first phone book or cardboard box will quickly tear it up.
