That was fun, and I'm barely tired! Still, I will take a nap this afternoon. I like watching others work, especially when they work smart and not hard! Thanks, Justin! GREAT WORK! 👍
Thanks, man! This really helped. I am renting one of these bad boys for a day, hoping that I will get 175 bags done for a slab. Looks like this will be easily doable. Loved the video.
I was quoted at $4000 for a sidewalk from front to backyard. I figure I can buy one of these and DIY, then sell it after. Looks like fun (except the clean up)
Great vid as always! If there’s any areas on the machine where you’re worried about wet concrete build up; you can rub a rag soaked in diesel on em right before pouring. It should help keep it super clean in the long run 👍
Awesome well done video. Have had mine for almost one year still boxed waiting and will get to use it this summer. I am very inspired and stoked to use it now more than ever after watching this video. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, Justin. We are preparing to use our unit for the first time. We don't have the hopper extension and chute like you do but we will be installing 1300 bags of cement for our footings and pads... yeah - I am nuts but live on a mountaintop where no cement truck can go!
@@JustinsProject Slow and Steady gets the job done. No help - just me and my wife. There is no way to get a cement truck up on the mountaintop - so, this is the way.
You caught that, lol. The look on my face was priceless. I thought I had lost it. The pallet actually broke, but I got lucky. The hopper was loaded, so it was pretty heavy.
It is a great machine to have if you can budget for it. I highly recommend it since it decreases the workload by at least 80%. I will never use a bucket-style mixer ever again. Good luck! Thanks for watching and commenting.
The machine looks amazing, but the price tag is a little steep for the average small business I think. You can get a normal concrete mixer for a couple hundred bucks, one of these where I live is over 3 grand lol
It is worth the investment of you are a small business doing smaller projects. It will pay for itself and save your back. It is a ton easier than the traditional bucket mixers.
This thing should be $1499 tops and they would still make money on it and could probably sell 3x and net more profit.. That $3400 price tag is absurd considering you can buy it from the factory in china for $750 shipped... MM probably pays $500-600 for them...
What about the water? When you turn it off does it keep on spraying? What about the cement getting hard and stuck in the machine then becoming inoperable?
Water only flows when you have the machine on. I never had any cement dry up on me. I did have periods of time when I needed to do things and had to take a break. I didn't have any issues, this machine was so much better than anything I have used in the past.
Totally DIYable, but I dare say it would actually be enjoyable if you paid someone $300 for the day to do the bag part. And just let you do the application part.
I'm guessing you were doing a slab instead of filling blocks though? I'm looking to rent one of these next week and need to get a couple hundred bags done in a day.
Thanks! I'm working on something that I think a lot of people will be interested in. Full video will be coming out on that when I get it completed. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
If you are planning on doing small jobs, it will pay for itself in no time. Although the chute and hooper extentions are extra, I would highly recommend them. Worse case, use it for a while and keep it clean. When you're finished, sell it. However, I don't think I'll ever sell mine.
Idk why but I work at a place that sells these and we get at least half of them returned and the other half people couldn’t return cause it’s past 30 days.
@Doingstuff56789 I'll take a wild guess that 90% or more of them are DIY'er that need to complete a project over the weekend. Complete the project and return. Not cool, but people do it.

Pouring is one thing, forming and finishing are the difficult part.
Sir, You Are A Good Advertiser Than Any Of The Advertisers I’ve Watched.
You Make Me Feel Like Ordering One Instantly.👍

Congrats on the mixer! Thanks for watching and commenting
If you use one of those variable speed multi tool and tape a plastic pipe to it you can use it to vibrate the cement and get into all the holes.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing

1300 bags!!! Y'all are going to be some tired people. And sore. Hopefully, you have some good friends to help you out. Goodluck!

@@rongray4118this is the way
Bought mine 2 months ago, but its just been sitting in the shed. Plan on pouring slabs in October when the weather is cooler in Florida.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Really well done video! Accessible blockfill is a perfect application. Seeing the bag breaking numbered is very satisfying - good idea!
Much appreciated 🙏 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
@@JustinsProject Such a good idea I am going to copy it, thanks! Will use the Mudmixer to make a vertical-build (formless) mix.
For a second there I thought you were going to flip $4k worth of machine over that pallet. Great demo! Thank You!
You caught that, lol. The look on my face was priceless. I thought I had lost it. The pallet actually broke, but I got lucky. The hopper was loaded, so it was pretty heavy.
Sold me on it. Thanks.
It is a great tool to have. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
An upgrade would be an electric motor for the drive wheels
That would be an awesome upgrade!
Are you a paid sponsor of this machine? I saw a Facebook Ad with you in it.
That's odd. I don't have any facebook ads on anything. I will have to look into this. Thank you for the heads up. 👍
Nice thank that video help me to decide to buy one

This is pretty nice. Wondered if cement and coarse aggregate when adding them separately
I think it is made for just about any dry mix because you can control the water flow rate to get the right mix for your project.
Excellent video. I gave it a thumbs up and laid a sub on you.
Thanks for watching, commenting, and laying down the sub 👍🏻

A lot of people would buy them for $1500, but the cost is in the engineering, not in the machine itself. That labor isn't cheap.
How do you transport this thing? It looks too heavy to just lift it up into the truck bed. Do you need a trailer for it?
Two guys can easily lift it into a truck. Or use ramps
What about the water? When you turn it off does it keep on spraying? What about the cement getting hard and stuck in the machine then becoming inoperable?

Hey Justin, renting one of these this weekend for the 1st time. You came across my feed. Great presentation, subbed right away. Thanks partner!!
Thanks for the sub! Good luck with your project. Thanks for watching and commenting

lol he said 75 bags in one day was “ extremely ambitious” I did that with our mud mixer in 2 hours 🤣😂
Good job! 👍🏻
I'm guessing you were doing a slab instead of filling blocks though? I'm looking to rent one of these next week and need to get a couple hundred bags done in a day.
Curious why the retaining wall blocks are filled with concrete instead of gravel
Ultimately, I am building a solar wall. I need something to anchor my racking system to. I will have a full video on that once I finish everything.
Makes sense. I was going to ask the same.
Impressive! Whatcha building there?

I can rent for $79 a day, but now I’m thinking I can bid small jobs and I should just buy one. What do y’all think?

I did 125 80lb bags with the harbor freight mixer in under 3 hrs...
Good job!

You used a metric wrench and you’re wearing a dust mask?? You might need to turn in that USA shirt you had on in the beginning. 😂😂
I'd rather not eat concrete dust for breakfast. 😁
Where can i buy the mudmixer
I have a link in the description to the one I have. You can buy it on Amazon or directly from MudMixer. Good Luck!
My Dad and Want to make an attachment for our backhoe
@@kree84ever Great idea!!! 👍🏻 Good Luck
Did you need to stop and clean the mixer from time to time......especially the auger portion?
@@mattdalton7357 I only cleaned it at the end of the project.
Um it didn’t take 30min to pour a 15bag pad for my kids toy house. With a drill and bucket to mix
Good job!
Can aggregate (mix of different size rocks, if you lake the aggregate larger than premixed) be added?
I have the impression that I can do a shutter extension myself .. almost $200 for that thing
It is definitely possible to build a DIY version of the chute with the right materials and tools.
Thank you
IsThis work for stucco ???
I have not tried it with stucco but they say it will.
