I have most of my mixer finished. I used a pickup rearend and box
steel for the frame. The problem is my tow vehicle is too low to
drive over 2"x6" wooden block frames. I can't use any other vehicle
and I can't buy a pickup.
So, I'm thinking of using my car to tow the mixer to get the mix made.
Then, I'm thinking of putting two fold-down caster pneumatic cart
wheels on the front of my lengthened towmixer frame and a set of
handles at a good height and pushing the towmixer down the line of
plastic over the frames.
My son and I are really tall and big, over 600 pounds together.
Pushing the weight around shouldn't be a problem. The ground we are
pouring on is hard enough to support the pneumatic casters. I was
just wondering is anyone else has tried to make blocks this way.
We bought Barry Fuller's DVDs from livinginpaper dot com. We really
liked his "elephant truck" pour spout.
BTW, we thought Fuller's DVDs were very well done and informative.
Worth his price for the training in them. We also previously bought
all of Mike McCain's videos from him. More great stuff!
Anyway, has anyone else needed to build a combo tow&push-mixer?
Thanks for your advice.
