TBH, I don't know. I don't think it would have issues, though. It is
an 8hp honda motor, quite capable of breaking your arm if you stick it
in the wrong place. I have removed the rubber scrapers from it, since
for my purposes they are unnecessary, but for clay you might want to
put them back on. My only caution with the mortar mixer is that
aggregates (gravel, pumice, chipped / powdered marble) are really bad
on the rubber paddles and eat them up. And I have heard they can cause
binds and burn up your motor if you are not careful, but I don't use
them so no experience there.
