Exclusive gimbal mounted drive allows the planetary drive to move freely with the mixer drum. The same technology is used on large truck mixers. We have never replaced a planetary drive. Adjustable hitch allows hookup to varying hitch heights.
Aggressive mixing paddles assures quick consistent mixture. Rear of drum features helix fins to quickly discharge concrete. Large man way with 22 each ½” bolts for a leak free seal.
The Shortstop 1 quickly dispenses concrete to forms, buggies and wheelbarrows. To discharge concrete; simply tilt the drum, reverse direction and concrete begins flowing. Flow can be quickly stopped by moving the speed control to “stop” position.
Features
- 1 Cubic Yard Capacity
- Haul concrete up to 40 miles
