A friend who does landscaping oriented general contracting wants to buy a gas powered towable concrete mixer in the 9 to 15 cubic foot size range. I'm involved because he does not have online capability (or computer skills.) He is interested in Whiteman, which I discovered is now Multiquip Whiteman.

Last week I helped him with a small concrete job using an Imer mixer he rented. It was so much better than my 30 year old Craftsman 6 ft electric (which had died in action the previous day) that I though it was great. My friend held a low opinion of it though.

What experience do you have and what advice can you give me about mixers in this configuration and size range?

Thanks, Stan

I worked in a rental yard for many years. We used Canoga , Essick , and Stone brands. I liked the Canoga best. They were made in Vista , Ca.

I've used mixers on my jobs for many years.

The number one thing I look for is a Honda engine. If it doesn't have one, I won't buy it.

On the bigger ones, look for a good drum lowering mechanism. Some have a gear system. When you get to the huge size you are talking about this is a very important part of the decision.

I have an old Essex mixer which I bought used in '85 cheap, replaced the center bearing and am still using it. So, the old ones are hard to wear out....
