Thanks Don for your words of wisdom.
I think some us being new and not having the same conditions as others have to come up with some different solutions to our problems.
We so appreciate all the work, knowledge, time effort and energy that everyone has taken to teach us and share their experiences.
We have no roads where we are building, so would lose most of our tank of mix. So before we invest all the money time etc we have to weigh our options.
A stationary tow mixer is our only option if they are the best as far as load, strength and less breakdowns are concerned.
We have to have ours built as the distance, the materials and time are huge factors.
When the main guy works 12 hour days and is never home during day light hours and the city code says you can't do something like this, in your yard or driveway, then the next best option has to go into play.
Thanks to so many if you,
Our brains are still trying to soak it all in.
It is so cold and windy here today the birds won't even come out.

| I like the solar cooker design setup. I certainly have a lot of solar energy here in SW Arizona. I've been very busy with my seasonal work here and have been just lurking for awhile but I've noticed a lot of newbies to the forum. One word I might put in is don't spend too much time reinventing the wheel. Many of the people on this forum have spent a lot of time with PC and you can learn a lot from them. Also there is no quick fix as far as getting paper, making pulp or putting up walls. If you're afraid to get a little dirt on your hands and to expend some physical energy in the process PC will probably not work well for you. And as for mixers, as Ron Richter says, once you start actually building, even a small structure, you will want more volume and that is where the tow mixer really shines. It takes a tremendous amount of force to pulp paper or cardboard and electric motors or small gas engines will not hold up nearly as well or give you the capacity that the differential mixer , either towed or stationary will. They are really simple, sturdy and economical to build and use. |
