I wouold say it depends on the surface you are towing it on, while mixing.
Welded spiders will make the wheels turn together and on asphalt or concrete
or even hard dirt your tow vehicle will have a hard time making a turn when
the mixer is loaded.
How about welding only one spider.Then only one tire will drive the mixer
and with the othter tire wheel free-wheeling, turning will be a non issue.

Subject: [papercreters] Welding spider gears in mixer differential?
I wonder if anyone could help me with this. I had the differential on my tow
mixer lock up and disintegrate and a friend of mine who has never used a tow
mixer suggested that welding the spider gears would make the assembly hold
up better. I looked up the procedure on line and it is quite doable, just
don't know if it's worth the effort.
