Kind of OT--- How do you measure the drum capacity of a cement mixer?
I have a freshly painted and tuned cement mixer I want to sell but I
don't know how to accurately describe it. I see mixers offered as 1/2 sack mixers, etc. but how is the capacity computed. The drum on mine would probably hold a quarter yard of cement at water level but I don't think the 5 HP Briggs & Straton would turn it if the bearing held up. Leigh at MarMachine |

A 'standard' concrete mix is 6 sacks per cubic yard of aggregate. A
half sack mixer will handle 1/12 cubic yard, or 2.25 cubic feet. This is not quite 17 gallons of water equivalent. Bugs |

That is some help but how full would you fill the mixer to measure the capacity. I'd guess about half way but that is a guess. Leigh |

I'd say to the lip while in the normal mixing direction - to the lip and under.
I have one also and have no idea what size it is - Dad gave it to younger brother who brought it to us. I hope it is more than scrap iron at this point - paint is long gone.
