Did it actually save u more money then calling batch house for a truck? Cause the way I see it is if not mixing the concrete by Sand Rock/Aggregate/Portland ratio then it may be more expensive then calling the truck in. Numbers I came up with on my patio pour was only $35 dollars more by buying the bag mix and mixing by hand and mixer. That is even with the savings of price drops after 52 bags or more purchased.

@@reddye2331Most concrete deliveries have a 4 yard minimum, so for small jobs like post holes or a section of sidewalk bags are cheaper. Mixing is logical in difficult locals, for example rent a pumper truck or a buggy to haul the concrete… or tot in the bags and mix on spot.

First time seeing this machine. Wish I seen it earlier before I bought a drum mixer. Too bad the price but definitely for a business that would work. Maybe if the drop a grand of it would be a sweet price

Been wanting it for ages and just ordered one. Thanks for your thorough reviews!

Nice awesome customer service!

Great concept, with a normal concrete mix. We tried using a fiber reinforced mix that caused some issues at the guard down in the hopper . A suggestion to improve this would be to add a small vibrator to the hopper to keep the feed consistent.

What kind of bagged concrete are you using for footers and garage size slabs? I will be buying one for my own needs but I have seen people comment about the cream not coming to the top whatever that means.

It don`t matter what it looks like, as long as it works

Are there any issues or concerns with concrete consistency within each individual bag since this type of mixer doesn't homogenize the mix as it mixes like a drum mixer does? In other words, the drum mixer mixes the entire bag together which evens out the contents of the entire bag, but the Mud Mixer mixes it bit by bit. If the mix had settled or started to stratify inside the bag, this might lead to very inconsistent pours which could affect strength.

Not really since you break the bag in the center and it all falls evenly it all mixes up before it goes down the shoot. I’ve mixed thousands of bags and only thing I ever ran into is larger rocks

Bag mix is over 4000psi no need for anything higher than

I think these are good...but slow. Rented one along with my regular drum mixer (3 60lb bag capacity). We ended up finding the drum mixer to be way faster and less standing around time. The mud mixer was easier and cleaner, but the drum was faster and got us done quicker. Each has their place i think. Plus mud mixer you are dragging around a hose and a cord. That said the drum you push around a wheel barrel. For the price and hassel, i stick with the drum

Can I ask a question ? I’ve got a MudMixer and have run over 200 bags thru it already. The issue I have is the the water mixing valve is tooo sensitive. I mean, I move the dial an 1/8 of an inch and the mix is way too loose. I move it an 1/8 of an inch the other direction and the mix is way too tight. Is this just a problem with my machine or is this the way yours is ?

perhaps it's your young age, however, a bit of advice to you from a guy who has been building stuff for 60 years - for what it's worth. you would be better off in the long run if you took better care of your tools. there is no excuse for your mud-mixer to have that much residual concrete on it. that just shows that someone is lazy - you or the guys who work for you. further, i flip houses and hire a lot of sub-contractors for various aspects of remodels. if a crew shows up with dirty and beat up tools, i watch those guys like a hawk because my experience with workers (over some 40 years) is that a guy who does not take any pride in taking care of his tools is likely to do shotty and half-ass work on his project. a guy whose tools show wear but are also as clean as possible and in good repair tells me that he is a guy who "sweats the details" and a guy who i don't have to look over his shoulder all the time to see if he is actually doing things RIGHT. as a final thought, you really shouldn't be advertising that you "beat the hell out of your tools and equipment." that's just not a statement that a GOOD and PROFESSIONAL contractor would ever make and especially on the internet.

@@JamesMoVlogs well, with all due respect, you are not the kind of contractor i would ever hire. i think what you seem to not understand is that the better you treat tools and the better you take care of them, the longer they will last. i have tools that i have used for 20 years and they still work fine. one of these days, you'll be on a job and one of the tools that you have "beat the shit out of" will break and you will either lose the job because you can't finish it in time OR you will have to go out and spend a lot of money buying or renting a tool to complete the job. maybe you are just too young as a contractor to have had this experience, however, IT WILL HAPPEN. and when it does, "maybe" you will start treating your tools with a little more care. i have no doubt that if you do manage to stay in business for any long period of time, you will finally understand what i've been trying to tell you.
