[papercreters] Re: Need good advice on making my towmixer

Thanks Greg for the suggestion. this was our first idea. However, we
don't think this would work for us. The mixer wheels are in the way
and the fall is too little for a real long chute from the back past
the back edge of a wheel. Plus, we think the weight of the wet mix
our kink the chute unless it was very stout, but again, there isn't
enough height for that. Mike McCain built a side dumping tank, but it
was way high on the back of a 4X4 Ford. If I had a 4X4, I wouldn't
need the side chute in the first place. Oh well.
