How Does a Skid Steer Concrete Mixer Work?

EZG manufacturing mud hog mixer attachment for skid steers

A concrete mixer is a type of attachment that can be used with nearly all skid steers. It allows the operator to mix and transport material on the job site, where it can be used for a variety of applications including pouring <a href="https://skidsteersdirect.com/collections/skid-steer-fence-installer" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">fence</a> holes, slabs, side walks and drive ways. A mixer attachment consists of a rotating drum that is powered by the skid steer's hydraulic system. The drum mixes the as it rotates, ensuring that all of the material is evenly mixed. Once the concrete is mixed, it can be discharged through a chute into a wheelbarrow or directly into your work area. The skid steer concrete mixer is an essential tool for any construction project, as it ensures that the concrete is mixed properly and transported quickly and easily to the job site.

Once your concrete is mixed, it's time to position your attachment for pouring. Smaller skid steer concrete mixers will have a manual gate which needs an outside helper to open and close. Larger mixers will have a hydraulic gate to assist in opening and closing the gate. The hydraulic gate consists of a two way cylinder that pulls the gate open or seals it shut. When the gate is open it directs the <a href="https://skidsteersdirect.com/collections/skid-steer-concrete-attachments" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">concrete</a> down a 45 degree chute so it can be placed with precision. The chute can be chained up and out of the way when the attachment is not in use.

<h2>How Much Concrete Can a Skid Steer Concrete Mixer Hold?</h2>
<br>
There are several different sizes of skid steer concrete mixers available on the market. If we use EZG's "Mobile Mud Hog" for example, the concrete capacities are as follows:

MMH9 - 8 to 9 80 pound concrete bags

MMH12 - 11 to 12 80 pound concrete bags

MMH20 - 19 to 20 80 pound concrete bags

Skid Steer concrete mixer attachments are designed to be used with both high and low flow skid steers. Using an average of 2,000 PSI, EZG manufacturing recommends between 10 and 40 gallons per minute for their largest concrete mixer the "MMH20 Mobile Mud Hog". This covers nearly all skid steer capabilities.

<h2>How Much Do Skid Steer Concrete Mixers Weigh?</h2>
<br>
This is not a small skid steer attachment. A full size skid steer concrete mixer will weigh in the range of 900 to 1,400 pounds when it's empty. A Fully loaded concrete mixer can weight from 3,ooo to 4,500 pounds. Because of the high fully loaded weight of the concrete mixer, it's important to ensure that your skid steer is up for the job. Be sure to check your skid steers operating capacity to avoid tipping and damaging your equipment. If you are using forks to lift your concrete mixer, be sure to have forks rated for weights beyond the fully loaded capacity.
