Is This Right For You?

Buy if

You pour concrete footings, posts, pads, or fill blocks on sites where a mixer truck can't access or isn't cost-effective
Remote construction, farm buildings, fence posts, or equipment pads where bagged concrete is the realistic supply
You want to add concrete mixing capability to an existing skid steer without buying a standalone towable mixer

Skip if

You pour large volumes daily — a dedicated towable mixer or ready-mix truck is more efficient
Your machine is compact — a full drum of concrete is heavy, check your rated operating capacity

Also consider

Heavy-duty cement mixer for large-frame machines and high-volume pours
Concrete hopper bucket if mixing is done elsewhere and you just need precise pouring

Machine Compatibility

Designed for John Deere machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.

Care & Maintenance

Pre-wet the drum with water and coarse aggregate before first use and after any idle period — concrete bonds permanently to a dry drum and is nearly impossible to remove once cured
Flush the drum with water and a handful of gravel immediately after every pour — even 30 minutes of delay can start the curing process on residual concrete
Grease drum bearing mounts and hydraulic motor drive shaft weekly during active use
Inspect the drum opening seal for wear and replace before it allows concrete to reach the bearing housing — concrete in the bearing is immediate bearing failure
Store with the drum oriented to drain — standing water inside the drum rusts the interior and degrades the mixing fins over time

How to Connect

Attach mixer frame using Bob-Tach
Connect hydraulic drum rotation circuit
Test drum direction — drum should mix inward (counterclockwise as viewed from chute side) for mixing, reverse to discharge
Verify drum is empty before connecting to machine

Safety NoteCement mixers are standard-flow. Do not overfill — follow max load ratings on drum decal.
