Well, how weird is this????? Been aiming to post the same question on this board; I've already gotten a few parts together; intend to mount it on 3-point hitch; drive it with hydraulic motor, so I can reverse direction. I'm starting with old anhydrous tank, abut 250 gal, which I will have to cut down. Local fertilizer plants have used concrete mixers for years to make blends; as many loads as I've hauled I've never really looked inside; keep meaning to take really good flashlight and check out the flighting, etc. I'll keep you posted on my progress if you'll do the same.

Yea I will keep the board posted on the progress. I have thought about a large pipe or boiler tube. Cut and taper the ends. Install some flights. Have an old Wayne sweeper with a two cylinder Onan engine and the hydraulic I could use. Probably could mount on axle and pull around.....Other day I saw one in a rental yard...One cubic yard....looks just like a miniature cement truck... Thanks for the replies Dean

I built one 25 years ago.Not that big, but takes a bag of cement at a time. Bought 3 feet off the
end of a 40" diameter boiler tank. Cut it a foot from the end and cut tapered pieces from the 2
foot section to weld to the end piece to make a
tapered drum. Used a front hub from a dump truck
to mount the drum on. Found a bull gear and pinion
for a farm tractor at the salvage yard for the
drum drive. Mounted the thing on a rear car axel
and used the front end of an old VW beetle as well
as the beetle engine to drive the whole affair.
Yes it is self propelled. Has hydrualic dump using
power steering parts from a car.

Got a water tank split open on a stand that measures
the agregate and then dumps it into the mixer.

Unfortunately I don't have the means to post pictures.

Never made one but remember that Crete weighs about 150lbs per cubic foot. I also thought of doing this a few years ago and I believe the cheapest way is maybe a 55gallon drum resting on rollers. May only be able to handle 5-6 cubic feet at a time but cheaper than buying a heavy duty steel drum.

Yea, I'm thinking it might be cheaper at that point to buy an old cement mixer truck & start from there....
