Well my research has brought me to your video , in my opinion the best one on youtube for building a home made mixer . Thank you very much . this will help me to save a bit of money and reduce my carbon foot print . Good job
Wow. I am proud of you brother in saskatchewan. I am originally from Africa I am Canadian by aduption or naturalization but I love any kind of home made invention. Me and my wife enjoyed your vid. Brother. Keep up you are the man. I hope your better halve had input in it lol. From Regina saskatchewan, the land of potash, uranium and wheat above all great individuals like you.
You sound more socialists lol just kidding. I believe in equality between sexes. You guys are wonderful, one day we will have lunch, my wife love to see that happen. Have a great fall.
Would love to know what the flex coupler on the barrel side was connected to. Was there some kind of welded plate or hub , or was the coupler welded directly? Thanks :)
Phenomenal; Loved the video's, kinda interested in how much progress was made 2014; YEAH Saskatchewan, windy,,SUCKS, but heard everything you said, While its annoying I got over it quickly. LOL; I subscribed giving 2 thumbs up!! Greetings from P.A ..keep the vid's coming, can't wait to see the greenhouse when its done!
350 lbs wet weight (2 really heavy wheelbarrows full). Recipe should be tweaked for your area and conditions. Here we use 123 rule - 1 part portland cement (Type N or 10), 2 parts rock/gravel, 3 parts sand. Some times we find the gravel we get delivered quite sandy so we just mix 1 part cement to 5 parts gravel with good results as well. Depends on what is available in your area. Most important is no topsoil, dust or dirt in the mix - makes a weaker concrete.
Water is trial and error. Mix has to be wet enough to mix all the ingredients but it depends on your use for it. A really sloppy mix makes light weight weak concrete that spalds easy but places well. A mix too dry is hard to place, hard to work, runs risk of cavities or voids, but is super hard and lasts forever. Good rule of thumb - It should flow like a milk shake but be rigid enough that you can press your fist into the fresh concrete and leave a hole (shouldn't fill back in)
You said in the mixer makes 350 lbs of concrete. Is this dry weight? or does it include the water. Can you give me the recipe of how much of each ingredient and water? Thanks very much for this video.
If you mean the long black tube...it is a tumbler we made for making SLC (Straw Light Clay) If you go to our main channel, it is the featured video right now.
It's a Repainted Kubota 2601 (Similar to an L4701). Nice tractor...but it's rebranded as a "gray market" so I'm having a hard time finding parts when I need them as Kubota removed those tractors from their parts listing when they started showing up in North America rebranded.
@@Naturally-Kelly Thank You, It is very practical. I have one more question, because I want to dig the clay from a field to build my house, could You tell me what kind o machine You have been used to grind, fragmentation a clay? I saw You have same powder of a clay. :-)
@@MrPilotnik we dug a large pond using the front end loader of the tractor. While cutting down the pond I kept the top 6" for top soil and piled it. As I scraped down the. Next 12" I set that aside for fill material around the yard. Everything deeper than that was good clay. Leaving the pile of clay a year to dry out makes it easy to work with the next year with minimal clumps.
Hi Ratnasingam, 1:60 is the gear reduction we've used because the motor is 1740 RPM 1740/60 = 29 RPM. Because the motor is 1/4 hp when you gear it down 1/4 * 60 (1:60 gearing) = 15...you actually get 15 hp from a 1/4 hp motor. The most important things we found are 30 RPM seems to be the magic number for speed and 20 hp would be the minimum power you need to not burn out your motor. Cement is really heavy. Hope that all makes sense :)
Yeah, I'll have to redo it eventually...so many people found photos in our blog of our dirt simple little mixer I kept getting asked how I built it and I kept threatening to make some plans up for people...so this vid was just a quick and dirty fix for when people asked how we built it...still haven't got around to those sketches either :)
www.princessauto.com/en/d:(etail/60-1-horizontal-shaft-worm-gear-speed-reducer/A-p8494171e Thanks Sakariya. This is a link to the gear box. When I bought it on sale I think I paid about $60 for it...it's gone up in price since then:(

kiliawta thanks for the comment, Yes, my wife and I built our house 100% together. We are definitely equal partners all the way! :)

I had this idea in my head for years, and finally someone made it, I will make one cause I know now it works, barrel should be half open
Would love to know what the flex coupler on the barrel side was connected to. Was there some kind of welded plate or hub , or was the coupler welded directly? Thanks :)
Wow. Great job!

Thanks for the detailed information. I will build my cement mixer and send you the picture. from srilanka .

The coupler is a Lovejoy-type coupler (also called a "Lovejoy coupling")
Thanks for the clarification Claude.
50 kg cement concrete mixing one time
Pls tel loading capacity
Solution design wormgear and.morter ?

The motor single phase or 3 phase?
Single phase
what the think was on last second ?
Hi :) What kind of the tractor do You have?

@@Naturally-Kelly Ok, so I need to preparing a clay one year eariel. I suppouse we have a similar climate.

Hi
would I know the speed reduction gear
Hi Ratnasingam, 1:60 is the gear reduction we've used because the motor is 1740 RPM 1740/60 = 29 RPM. Because the motor is 1/4 hp when you gear it down 1/4 * 60 (1:60 gearing) = 15...you actually get 15 hp from a 1/4 hp motor. The most important things we found are 30 RPM seems to be the magic number for speed and 20 hp would be the minimum power you need to not burn out your motor. Cement is really heavy. Hope that all makes sense :)
He means 15 horsepower less friction losses, of course.
I have one word for you,
VOICEOVER.

I need speed Reduction gear Box model number

lay off the pot... you would have been better off going to lowes and spending $200 on a basic mixer and not burn your time...
Burning your time would be having to mix twice as many loads of concrete because your mixer is too small.
