Converted the PTO drive to a Hydraulic Drive for the cement mixer. Thought I would show it for anyone interested.

Well I come back and try the link a bit later and it works fine.
Pretty neat set up. Looks like it would be handy to have around.

Is that a Mixer80? I did that conversion several years ago to get reversibility and to operate it
from my FEL.
One thing I have not done is to convert the paddles inside the drum to vanes that assist with
dumping the mix when in reverse rotation.
Mine works SOOO much better than PTO drive, as I am sure you found out. Good work.
I cannot see a name on it, but pretty sure made in China.
See attached pic for the modification made to strengthen chain tensioner and drive shaft assy.

I do use the reverse on my power beyond valve to dump, but not needed terribly, it dumps easy with the freedom to tilt as far as possible.
Oh, also modded was the dump linkage also, will see if I can find a picture,,

The Mixer80 seems to be the most common concrete mixer in the US and Canada, tho there
are some others, perhaps made in China. The Mixer80 is made by Cosmo Ag Machinery, near
Turin, Italy.
Back when I bought mine, there was no maker info on the unit. AgriSupply has sold
it for a long time, and now they put the COSMO label on it.
I got mine for about $500 or so, shipped from some dealer in the Midwest to here in CA. Other than the poor
single-acting dump cyl setup, it is a very good product.
