But you don't, really. With pto driven you HAVE TO be running the mixer
when you're adding ingredient, so it's not available for lifting
ingredients. And having the mixer up that high is problematic for other
reasons. With a house sized form, even with a form the length of a wall,
you would have to move the mixer.
I'm thinking Mikey has the right idea . . . PUMP IT. I just need to be sure
I can find a pump that will pump MY mix.
