RE: [papercreters] Re: Mixer running off a PTO??

I have seen PTO’s used to run saw mills, etc. using a telescoping drive shaft off a tractor PTO.  I imagine you could hook a shaft to one wheel on a tow mixer blocked up off the ground and locking the brake on the other wheel.  It would be sketchy unless you locked the mixer down real well, but would still allow easy moving when not hooked up.

---many farmers have a PTO driven rototiller which, in combination
with a concrete lined pit, should have the power to make papercrete in
volume ! IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO TRY THIS- please stay in touch - If
we could make this work then we would be empowering all of small town
America to be able to make papercrete - what a boon Clyde at
