Pan Mixer

[ste]

After some advice on buying a pan mixer. Got a few jobs coming up needing some concrete, too big for the Belle and not big enough for Ready mix. Plus off farm work meaning bit hit and miss as to when I can do them.

Have used a Kilworth in the past and found it a good machine. Looking at local dealers it either Mamout or Jarmet. Looking at the 3/4 cube size.

You will struggle to find anything better built for the money than the ones imported by John Anderson

I have a second hand one that was sold as seen (scrap basically) at Lanark market.

Despite its apparent condition, it has mixed hundreds of tonnes for me.

@Alf can remind us who imports them now.

i stopped selling the 3 year ago , after 15 year s . I only sell the bucket mixers but they are a premium machine . Industrial strenth . But out the budget for most farmers .

Builders ,groundwork types and the better farmers tend to buy them

If you want a good pan mixer its PV Dobson or Killworth . Mammut are bean tins , I don't reckon to them at all.and would not give one house room, Jarmet are polish and tend to be sold by cowboys. No doubt not all . So god knows what the part situation will be like in 10 year . And those chinese looking blue ones on another thread I know nothing about but have a very strong gut feeling , which is not good .

This is just my own personal view from 15 year of working with pan mixers . I don't sell them now so I am speaking unbiasedly . So I wont be getting in to arguments with " My Mammute is good and I have mixed a million cube one afternoon with it" . Save your time I heard it all before

i seen a guy mix concrete up in a dump trailer,just sat on a 3cx and scooped up sand and gravel in to trailer then couped bags of cement into bucket then sprinkled over the top then mixed up with bucket as his worker had a hose on it,i was quite impressed and the floor they laid is still there 20 years later

I would buy an old diet feeder if I had some to do . You can buy a rough one for scrap money . do your job and scrap it

Cheers @Alf the one Dobson has on their website is about 300 cheaper than the Mammut at my local dealer, and 200 dearer than a Jarmet. Will probably go for one of those

I have one the same as is on Andersons site. It has done well, although it is very high geared and hard to drive when mixing semi-dry concrete. We made a bogi for ours to sit on, and its a lot handier to put on and off.

Most we have mixed for one job was eighty meters.

Volumetric wagons..... Save the hassle of mixing yoursslf

Bloomin heck,I like the axle idea,I'm going to steal that for sure....As for pan mixers in general,many of them are identical other than colour...the Mammout is different,it has a movable chute which is good but as mentioned it's not as strong in the tub,the one we used flexed alarmingly when full..The quantock threequarter cube we've had for 5 or 6 years has done us very well..

Mounted ours on an old muck spreader chassis. Some old pics from 2006
