No, but the diesel engine will be running at what, say 1500rpm max? Am I right in saying that a 4 pole motor spins slower?
No idea,,your biggest problem is making sure the drum can turn at the right speed to mix and not to send it round too fast ,,Ive found this with my new petrol Belle ,,flat out it turns it faster than the electric modelNo, but the diesel engine will be running at what, say 1500rpm max?

4 pole motor has a speed of about 1500 rpm.
if you want mixer input shaft to run at 250 rpm, you need a reduction ratio of 6:1.
So you need two pulleys one six times bigger than the other.
Bigger pulleys better as you have more belt in contact with the pulley for transmitting the power.
That's the rough plan!! Motor at present has a pulley about two inches diameter so will need one around the 300-400mm diameter. Twin pulleys would be ideal!!! To qualify on this thread we may need to discuss circumference and radius of the pulley just in case!!!!
ha ha, maybe use terms like pi, and other mathematical formulae will get you the extra points you need to reside within this thread and not the "other" one!
i was posting a bit on the bodges thread but this seems like a better place to post some creations as i dont really do bodges, or at least i try not to anyways.
i made this up for a customer a few weeks ago, his own design ill ad.
the gussets on the q hitch were my own ad on's as he seemed to have more faith in 100x100x10 box than i had tbh.
cheers hi.
yeah, he seen it on you tube and thought it was about the best design.
i honestly have no idea as to how good it ill be but the theory seemed acceptable to me.
a long mouth on it so as the clay and stones runs to the back its supposed to have enough time to riddle it.
ill never see it again id say, or id hope so at least as its went about 70mls from me, id like to know how well it works tho.
in saying that most riddling buckets about (the few there is) are normally a old digging bucket cut up like a sieve, unless the clay is dry they are a bit of a b***s of a job tho.

it saddens me to say it but im not.You any further along with the hook lift trailer?
I see the theory, but the reality may be different, in the right material it will work as you say, but only with just the right amount being picked up. Get that little bit too much in it and it will need shaking just like any other riddle bucket to get the material to circulate. Just my opinion though.
Doesn't make it any less of a smart job you did putting it together
