Cement mixer attachment

[egb6550]

Anyone have experience with the cement mixer? I'm thinking about using it to make paths/sidewalks. Is it easy to use worth the investment? I have the 422.

I would like to know too. I just got done mixing 320 lbs of cement, and i have another 1000 lbs still in bags in my garage. Shovel and wheelbarrow just doesn't cut it?

I am wondering if the cement mixer barrel is made out 3/16"+ steel like every other attachment. Kind of looks that way in the pictures. Just a bit overbuilt, if so.

The barrel is made out of some type of plastic material very tough. You can put two 80 lb bags of premix and mix it in about 30 seconds drive to where you would like it and dump.

The only problem I have is the speed it turns you have to run the tractor just above idle. If you don't it turns so fast it acts as a centrifuge. I have mixed tons with mine takes the work out of it. It will not mix mortar.
