"I did watch a video on this, so I'm pretty much an expert." Classic!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I thought you might like that. 😁

[@kgint23]

😂

[@renderuthis]

I believe it as it looks easy, just need someone to lift the bags for me.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

A person can buy 40-50 pound bags. They are easier to work with.

[@Bodhranarama]

A tool for everything Tony, easier than a shovel and a tray that's for sure. Thanks for posting.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Mixing concrete in a bucket pushed me to get a Mud Mixer. We have a lot of concrete to pour.

[@SandraAnnEvans]

As ALWAYS . . . LOVE YOUR VIDEO'S! YOU AND TONYA MAKE A WONDERFUL TEAM! THANK YOU FOR SHARING ALL THAT YOU DO!

[@crazycoyote1738]

Wow!! What a dream mixer. I was skeptic about that little machine, since we are used to bigger drum, faster work, but it’s defiantly a producer. Thanks for sharing!!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I would put it up against most Trump mixers just for the fact that you don't have to move the concrete twice. We did approximately 42 bags in a little over an hour once everything was set up.

[@chadjones4236]

Some of the hardest working people I've ever met did it for years now slot of them are getting joints replaced as the end result can't wait to see your finished results and plants growing in there👍

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

That is a great machine for small jobs Tony! A great back saver!!! ❤

[@boodybandit]

This video is absolutely 100% what I was looking for. You and your wife did a hell of a job. I have to pour 2 pallets plus a few additional 80lb bags and I am renting the mud mixer. I will be the loader and my wife will be pushing and pulling the concrete around. What setting did you use for water? I setup my scaffolds on wheels and made a bench on wheels so the bags will be no lower than waist high for transfer to the mud mixer. Definitely a back saver for a guy over 50 (me)

[@garymessina1609]

Great job great video thanks Tony and Tanya

[@davida.p.9911]

Great work! And a great machine! Definitely a must for anyone pouring a lot of concrete. Now for handprints! 😂 👐 Thanks for sharing, Tony!

@@TonysTractorAdventure I have plenty to catch up on!

[@tracymclaughlinholmes677]

I will say when video I've seen on this thing when they first start they use the attached garden hose to wet down the actual corkscrew that pushes the concrete out. That way it doesn't catch.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I have never had much problem with it. It is a very good machine.

[@judypace4856]

Wow!!! Looks great !!!

[@mark02tj41]

I've been watching every Mud Mixer video I can find for the last year or so - so I was happy to see someone on a channel I was already subscribed to using one. Nice job! I'd like to see some details on your water tank and pump setup. Maybe a short video on that?? I'm planning on renting a Mud Mixer this summer to pour a slab for a large shed. We're on a well and our water pressure fluctuates some, not to mention, I'd rather have a few hundred gallons on hand in a tank versus worrying about drawing down the well (although we've never had a problem) during the pour. How much water did you end up using on that slab? Looking forward to seeing more of your projects using the Mud Mixer!!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I really don't know how much water I used, I ended up setting it in 55.

[@houndsmanone4563]

Tony, appreciate the demo. You guys were kicking some cement butt. Full-watch. Later. 👍🏽🤠 5/17/23

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. Full video next week.

[@Tapthatsugershack]

Awesome stuff, as always. This mixer is the cats meow. Wish I known about this mixer before I did 1500 Sq ft of new tile drinage in my basement instead of buying a drum mixer so much easier with this type

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I am impressed with how easy we mixed 42 bags of concrete. A little over an hour.

[@Tapthatsugershack]

That is very impressive. Holy cow it took me probably 5 hrs to do that many bags lol

[@Kevin-wj4ed]

It works great!!!)))))

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Yes it does!

I have already purchase my mudmixer. Now I am eyeballing that tractor. What is the specs on your tractor looks like about what I need for must of my projects. Can you share the make and model with us please and thank ya.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

That is the T474. It is 48.8hp. I love it. It is a very well rounded tractor.

[@MASI_forging]

Great work and nice machine 😃😃

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you

[@afbigfish1]

I have only mixed type s mortar in mine so far but I have noticed that sometimes I get a void where the dry mix doesnt fall all he way down to the auger and that causes excess water to pool up in the shoot then when itstarts going again you get a really wet mix. I end up poking it down with a 5 gallon paint stick. Im almost thinking it could use a small vibrator mounted on the hopper to vibrate the mix down faster and more consistently. Anyone else experience that? Im still happy so far but feel like that could make it great.

[@SpaceCrete]

What I was thinking, and I don't have one now.

[@afbigfish1]

@@SpaceCrete I added a 110v vibrator and poured about 3-4 yards with zero issues of consistency once I had it dialed in for those getting consistency issues its either the dry mix getting plugged or not falling consistently into the auger or a water supply issue. I added the vibrator and could tell it was vibrating the mix down way better than before

[@SpaceCrete]

@@afbigfish1 Small vibrator? They can get a bit pricey. Thanks!

[@cchavezjr7]

How much more does it cost having to buy ready mix vs getting the separate components separately and cheaper?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I am not sure. That is not in my wheelhouse of experience. I will probably always by ready mix.

[@cchavezjr7]

@@TonysTractorAdventure Ah ok, we always have access to sand so it's cheaper to buy a bag of "portland" for what we do and shovel the sand in the mixer.

[@seansysig]

Cool tool for small jobs. Mix looked good consistency.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

The consistency is very stable. As long as the water pressure is stable, it will do its job.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Do a lot bigger jobs than you would expect. Much faster than the old tub mixers.

[@bobburck803]

Tony, shouldn't you be using 4" mesh?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Maybe so, but I am not doing it for these small pours.

[@edk9576]

I have been looking at the Mud Mixer. It seems to me that it is cheaper getting ready mix than buying it buy the bag and using the mixer. Am I wrong?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Not at all. Many times you can't get a truck to a site. Many times a truck will not deliver a small amount. There are hundreds of scenarios where the mud mixer is the best choice. Not always but many times.

[@edk9576]

I kinda figured location would play into it. If you can get a truck to it redi mix would be cheaper.@@TonysTractorAdventure

[@SpaceCrete]

What? No paw print?

[@MichaelPaszkowski]

You are a money expert though. Very nice accessaries to complete task. Nice….

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

We started with nothing and will leave with nothing.

[@2READYCRETE]

If one buys this machine, they would be best served spraying down the hopper and auger with diesel fuel so the concrete don't harden up

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I have owned it for almost 2 years. I have never had a problem with it.

[@esexavo]

she used a garden rake, to do this wow skills

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I am not sure if you mean what you are saying or being sarcastic???

[@rusosure7]

@@TonysTractorAdventure I used a garden rake on many of my pours. Then I remembered I had a concrete rake in my van after I was completed. Oh well. Use what you have! The fact you had a helper makes many of us jealous for sure. I always work alone.

We ended up putting on respirators because there was still some dust inside the building. For the most part, this makes DIY concrete much easier. 42 bags and just over an hour.

[@rusosure7]

@@TonysTractorAdventure I would have done 56 bags in an hour. (but they would have been 60# bags 😝 )

i know how to make this machine faster cus i think it mix the concrete to slow, what if you put two pipes instead of one that will make it twices faster . i am a welder so iam gonna modifie one of this mud mixer , like if you wanna see the results. or you can give my idea to the mud mixer team ...

You can rent one for $60 a day where I live. One day rent for a 12x12 patio slab is a bargain. Just add bags. Not getting a cement truck out for 1.5 yards.

I disagree. I can run circles around someone with a standard mixer

[@holler2235]

Absolutely not… With a 9 cubic yard mixer Using 6-80lbs bags at a time … this mudmixer is quite slow

[@AlanSanderson-u4t]

⁠@@holler2235A 9 cubic yard mixer costs a lot more than $3000.. 6 80 pound bags won’t make a dent in 9 cubic yards. 9 yards is the equivalent of 450 bags.
