TESTING OUT a CEMENT MIXER attachment FOR A SKID STEER (game changer)

[@Augiebracerofam]

Nice weekend family project by the “okayest brother”. Thank you for sharing and have a great day.

[@aidanabeln828]

Great little family project. Like to see how attachments work. Almost to 100k good work👍

[@morganvass2930]

What is up Aidan.

[@TheTsunamijuan]

Three hours, not to bad. Good family project on a weekend. Looked like you where not hurting for help.

[@landscapingspecialist]

Ive seen these. Often wondered how well they work. If it does, I could see getting plenty of use out of one 🤘🏻

[@windage]

good solution to a 'low impact' ground situation!

[@robertjohnson2465]

Thanks for posting the video Sam. Most all of us appreciate the info. Being able to see these machines in action allows us to form our own opinions for what we do. Just like what you set the channel up for in the first place. Not enough videos or information sometimes to make an educated guess on what may work for many of us. Keep up the great work! Ignore the haters.

[@richardharvey8939]

Best part of video was little man watching. Great video

[@richardharvey8939]

Stop clowning about the grass what is the annual temp does it freeze, does the ground crack you don’t know and they do quality work. He would mess somebody over.

That pretty sweet. Got to love family help 👍🏽 maybe think about putting in some boat plugs on those holes to keep the soup mixture out 🤷🏽‍♂️

Can you do a video boss on the vibration machine you had on the 2x6 screed

That’s as handy as a pocket on a shirt. Thanks for sharing.

Now that's a cool attachment 😎👍

We’ve got them on our website!

[@blockadeboyz]

Lol… I’m going to post tree related and second generation dodge videos. Concrete mixers are what you mix sand, aggregates, cement and water with. Lol. Put concrete over organic material is never recommended unless we see it done on KZbin… rock on man. Love the channel

Where’d you get that vibrator for the screed? That thing looks awesome

[@umadbrooo6947]

Concrete over grass/dirt? That something you don’t see everyday

[@landscapingspecialist]

Ive actually poured directly on grass before. Was extra on a job and guy had us pour an impromptu small pad. Whatever. He paid so all was good.

That’s what you do when you don’t have a clue on what you’re doing. Anyone who pours concrete on grass don’t care about the end result.The subgrade is the most important part of the job.

Love it. Great job. GOD BLESS ALL Y'ALL.

[@geraldkoth654]

What is more fun? Running the skid steer with the mixer on the front, or watching someone else lift the 80 pound cement bags? LOL That attachment doing three bags with minimal effort sure beats the twenty other Manual Labor methods. I bet it mixes better than the rotary drums too.

[@SixOFord]

Skid steers, the Swiss army knife of the equipment world.

Sweet, thanks for sharing Sam👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@francorobles2470]

So how many yards you did in 3 hours

[@blakeangusfarm3787]

I don’t have a skid steer but Is the 3pt mixer for sale?

[@AztecWarrior69_69]

3:00 Why didn't you just scoop up the aggregate with the mixer bucket THEN put the bags of cement in?

[@VBELTandSON]

Would tear up the lawn to much. This was way easier. If you have an extra machine why not use the rig to make life even easier ?

[@AztecWarrior69_69]

@@VBELTandSON But that is a tracked skid. They tend not to mess up turf as much. But I am not there so you were the better judge of that. Just asking. Oh and I did see the part where you mentioned that. "If you have an extra machine why not use the rig to make life even easier ?" Yup. I am in agreement.

This the 250 or 450 unit? you still happy with it?

The bigger one. It’s on a tl12. Works good happy with it

[@jon9562]

Is there a reason you were dumping and not using the slide in the bottom?

[@VBELTandSON]

Dumping was faster

[@kirkpennell3028]

Jitterbugging I didn't think anyone did that anymore. LOL 😆

[@ronaldheit196]

Just put a bolt, two washers and a nut in those holes with the nuts on the outside. Problem solved. I can't believe you poured cement without removing the top soil and laying down gravel and using galvanized fencing instead of standard pre-rusted fencing. Other than that a pretty interesting vid.

[@VBELTandSON]

Smart idea

[@johnsandlinjr]

Who uses galvanized wire mat?

[@landclearingandecomulching2887]

How the Takeuchi going any problems you and upstate should do head to review problem ect cheers keep up awesome video

[@VBELTandSON]

Only had one emission issue. Warranty fixed it. Other wise it’s been great. I ran both before I bought the 12. I like the Takeuchi way better

[@landclearingandecomulching2887]

@@VBELTandSON that’s good to know in process off choosing which one to buy. Lot mate tell not to get the Asv because of track setup and he couldn’t get to run more than week with out breaking down 200 hrs he sold it March I can get TL12 r2 here in Australia thanks all best

[@11mr.niceguy11]

You really need safety grates over the mixer . That thing will grab your arm and drag your entire body in . You shouldn't have the blade spinning near the bags either that can get you pulled in. I stand on mine but I have thick safety grates on ours. Input my water in first then add 5 bags at a time usually stoping around 25 80# bags ours can hold 30 but it's a little much for the hydrologic lines I can usually mix 2 pallets of 80# of concrete and pour in about 1 to 1.5 hours cleanup up and loading takes about 30 min

[@gadielsantiago8813]

Work smarter not harder 👍🏻

[@andybaker5787]

Nice one Sam

[@VBELTandSON]

Thank you

[@dapymp17]

Let’s say you wanted to do a barn slab all by yourself. Say 75 yards. Time is not an issue nor is manpower. But money is. If I already have a track steer and am open to buying a specific machine/attachment would this work or is there a better option. Really looking to save major money and do it over a week or two. But obviously I would like to minimize the work as much as possible. Thoughts?

[@reliableloren2871]

I have the eterra 16 cubic foot unit and it works well. Cost wise where I'm at, it costs me about 2/3 what delivery from a concrete company costs. I paid around 8300 for the unit so I might break even if I did around 100 yards of concrete. Do your numbers and decide what's best for you. I like to look at it like I get a paid for attachment eventually, but delivered concrete is by far more efficient.

[@dapymp17]

@@reliableloren2871 great info and thank you. I didn’t realize those mixers are so costly, in the back of my mind I was assuming 4/5k maybe or even lower. That changes the math. Personally I’d feel obligated to get my money back at least once by either renting it or doing a job with it plus the savings earned in doing my own project. Just musing, and thanks again

[@nathanbillingsley42]

We have the same old mixer. Ours is setup like a trailer.

Pour that concrete over topsoil and grass. Nice

Lucky so far. I predict cracking in your future. Shortcuts create problems later on. But if your happy no problem.

[@VBELTandSON]

[@landscapingspecialist]

The saying of the o’ mixer having constructed many ‘cements’ is not wrong.

[@linkcornell8646]

It is not a cement truck, it is a concrete truck. Cement is an additive to make concrete. You cannot pour or finish cement, you pour concrete and finish concrete.

[@alexnelson6196]

I’d rather have a truck chute it into a bucket from the driveway. Short-loads are 3yd minimum where I’m from. That looks like about 4 yards. Truck would be cheaper than bags, lots faster, lots less work, standard bucket holds more than mixer bucket. I agree that that’s a sweet setup for remote jobs though. Fresh mud gives you more time to lay it down, too.

[@VBELTandSON]

10 yards*

[@alexnelson6196]

@@VBELTandSON whoa! Thanks for responding! I feel start struck. 😉 Hello from Moscow, ID!

[@sammiskie1127]

People aren't figuring in cartage and wait time on the concrete truck..its $150 yd PLUS cartage and wait time. When you have to fill a skidsteer bucket n haul to your work area the time adds up fast ! I bought a used mixer like this for $5k because I'm far from a quarry so cartage would be very expensive. Plus a lot of areas on my farm where I pour concrete aren't accessible for a truck. When I'm done with my projects I can sell the mixer for damn near what I paid for it !! It came in handy when I had to repair all the posts in the poll barn..could only do a few at a time..not worth getting a truck.

[@scottcarpenter400]

You should have gotten one with a shot on the side and a tub on the bottom

[@VBELTandSON]

It has those..

[@linkcornell8646]

Placing concrete on topsoil and grass is not good practice. Plus there should have been a 4" stone base installed. In about six months it will start cracking.

[@zachmelton1114]

But they saved so much money by doing it themselves!

[@All-Miles-Matter]

Hmm...concrete with no base? That would never ever hold up in NY!

[@VBELTandSON]

Lol watch it hold up in Cali. Lol

[@All-Miles-Matter]

@@VBELTandSON yeah I bet! That's crazy!

[@kemo4298]

Next tine get the concrete truck and 4 wheel barrows. You could have shuttled the concrete faster than you could have mixed it. 1 wheel Barrow is 1/32 of a yard of concrete. Ask me how I know.

[@Kashaww]

10 yards 1/32nd at a time huh? That sounds like alot of fun.

[@kemo4298]

@@Kashaww me and 3 more guys did a cart path on a lake property once. It was 26 yards total. The ground was so steep we had to drag the legs of the wheel barrows all the way down the path.

[@s10er8]

If he had a skid steer he could haul it the bucket. That's what he needs is a skid steer!

[@mountainman4969]

Have you ever heard of a line pump? Some people work harder than they should.

[@SawmillerSmith]

I would of used a concrete truck and hauled it in a plywood box in the bed off a pick truck. That's one of the ways I've done it. Tilt the box so the concrete runs out when you open the gate. You can haul a half a yard at a time. Mixing concrete with bags cost a lot more than from a concrete truck.

[@VBELTandSON]

Idk why I even talk in these videos. No one listens. 🤦🏼‍♂️ we mixed more than a cement truck load and still have extra material left over. material cost was a less than half of what a cement truck load would have cost. This was cheaper for us and 0 issues.

[@SawmillerSmith]

@@VBELTandSON 4 yards here cost $600 from a concrete truck. Or 160 80 pound bags or concrete mix from the big box store for approximately $550. 4000 concrete mix here I'd 135 dollars a yard from the concrete plant. I can't see how its possible to save the way you're doing it. Also you need the skidsteer and the mixer.

[@unitedgray]

@@VBELTandSON Not to mention a pickup truck wasn't going to fit through that gate either. Some people just like to hear themselves speak.

Where are you getting sacks for less than premix? Here I would pay 150$ yd for sacks with a veteran discount or 115$ yd premix with 4yd minimum. It would take a heck of a lot of small jobs like this for me to justify one of these or even your old school mixer
