Default Why does cement mixer trip RCD?

Was selling my cement mixer yesterday, and when selling, tried to show
it to the buyer working in the shed. when plugged in and switched on,
it just tripped the RCD. I reset it and it happened again. Finally
when connected to the house supply via extension lead i was able to
show him it working.

Why did the RCD trip. It wasn't damp or anything yesterday evening?

I now want to put a washing machine in the shed. Will this cause the
RCD to trip?

Thanks for any assistance.
