Thanks for the nice camera work on your project. I purchased the same (look & mechanical) concrete mixer with the branding of Yardmax 5.0 Cu. Ft. Concrete Mixer 3/4 HP YM0146. Both the Yardmax and the Ryobi look identical other than the paint colors and name branding. I'd found other brands of the same mixer too when I wanted to purchase this type of mixer but everyone was out of stock. (The Harbor Freight one is odd and clumsy IMO, also smaller capacity.) Yardmax and Ryobi look like they are made at the same factory. For me it was very hard to located the one I finally purchased at Rural King. Since I bought it, the price has increased about 50% and Rural King can't seem to get it in stock, I suggest you don't sell your Ryobi model as you may be hard pressed to find it again and the cost is crazy now.

Thanks a ton for the compliment it’s much appreciated sir. It’s a really useful tool so definitely plan on keeping it a bit. Mike

The pivot swivel allows you to turn the drum 90 degrees and empty the drum better into where you want the med, without spilling over the outside of the form boards... There are pictures in the owners manual...

Nice job! Just bought the Ryobi mixer. I think I'll reinforce the back leg right off the bat based on some stories of it buckling.

@@kylefamilyhomestead7007 good luck! We paid $2500 for our 250 gallon filled and delivered.

tap the side of the forms when your pouring and you won't have those voids in the side

@kylefamilyhomestead7007 Жыл бұрын

We did ;)

I use a saws-all without a blade and put the foot against the form.

How many bags of 60lb concrete did you put in the mixer at once before you poured it into the slab ? 1,2,3v

@kylefamilyhomestead7007 Жыл бұрын

We did 2 bags at a time.

@michaelg4931 Жыл бұрын

So nothing retains the mixing drum on the shaft but gravity and friction?

@kylefamilyhomestead7007 Жыл бұрын

Correct

How many bags did it take to complete the job?

Sorry it’s been awhile I’m not sure.

@johan-zs8nc Жыл бұрын

Would it be easier to just mix it in a wheel barrow ?

@kylefamilyhomestead7007 Жыл бұрын

Depends. If the job is small enough sure. This job. No!

Pour from the side instead of pushing it over to pour.

Kobalt mixer is better imo
