We're having a time building our mixer because we don't want to have to
drive and tow, I guess. We could not get the electric 6.5 hp motor at
a reasonable price any more. We tried a gas 6.5 hp engine and it still
did not provide enough power to turn the blades through the thick stuff
in an oblong 100 gal. tank.
Hubby bought a car axle, I think it was off an S610 truck?? We are
having to reconfigure the thing, going up through the bottom this time
and just using the one set of blades on one rod instead of the two
rods, a set of two blades each. Jury's still out if this is going to
chop up any paper that collects at the long ends of the oblong tank,
but Hubby seems to think this will work this time. Sure hope so. I
have been waiting a long time for my papercrete mixer--was supposed to
have been my Christmas present last year. :0)
He will then connect this somehow to our tractor's pto to turn it.
