Thanks,on the first trial run I had to wrestle with the bag too much.I figured to hell with that, you already have enough to wrestle with trying to build things.
Nice. I think a bigger one would be great for 2+ people but the original mud mixer was likely designed to be able to use with just one person thus the 3" output but I think cuz your auger is an inch smaller than the pipe its not pushing enough volume so maybe try to increase the auger size just below 3" and see how the output is first & also maybe widen the intake in the bin. The oem mud mixer mixes pretty fast for one person in my opinion from watching videos. Anyways GL on your next build.
If you are looking for convenience - order cement truck If you are looking for low cost - get your cement and aggregates and use cement mixer or for smaller projects mix it by hand! But of you looking for YT content - build ready-mix-mixer out of junk :D
Sure I would also say to order a cement truck when ever possible,but when you cant for what ever reason this is another option if you don't want to deal with mixing and measuring the separate ingredients .This was a test to see if I could make this type of cement mixer with what I had laying around .Next one will be scaled up .
I dont think you really need that midevil spike hand poker there.. just a little wavy thin piece of metal will cut a bag in two. Maybe 2 spikes at most.. i could forsee the loader getting a little winded and drop a mitt on it and have a bad day..
Thanks, I appreciate your input.I tried a semi sharpened thin wavy piece and had to wrestle with the bag a little most of the time.I didn't want to wrestle any with the bag especially when you start getting tired.Maybe I went a little too aggressive,but man did it solve that problem. Perforating the bag just right is the key. Medieval spikes,I hadn't thought of that. That is going to crack me up for a while. Good one.😃
The next one in the works will do 1 yd/ hr. Video on that coming up soon. This one was just to show myself that I could actually build this kind of machine and truly understand to working concepts,using the things I already had laying around.Please subscribe and I will show you some cool stuff.Thank for you input.
Genius and good consistent proper mix. Id buy one..
Thanks.I am working on the next one ,
shooting for 50 eighty lbs bags per hour
output.
Nice! Great machine, looking forward to the next version.
Thanks! I'm working on it.
Nice job on making this!
Thanks
Awww yeah, nice progress!
Thanks
Been working on my design as well. Yours looks great!
sounds cool Johnson,thanks.
will be cool to see what you come up with.
That is a bag breaker!

I have watch almost all your videos before.
Really incredible stuff you have figured out.

@@WeberMachineWorks Thanks! I was thinking in terms of possible collaboration, but I am over in CA.

Thanks for you comment.I will give both a try.
And we will see.
hard slump, none of that rookie runny stuff
Right,glad you noticed that.Thanks
After all the work of doing a concrete
job we want it to hold up and last.
👌👍
Thanks Bob

Snowblower shear pin with snap pin….
thanks i will pick one up
I was going to suggest clevis and hitch pin, but the shear pin is a better idea.
@@greb3212 Thanks for you input.
Needs to do 1yd/hr

@@WeberMachineWorksexcited for this!!
@@shaz024 Glad to hear.
The gears are turning in my shop.
Stay tuned.
