I was thinking if I can’t get it on dumper get one in frame run it of aux on 1.5 or 3 ton only thing would be not mixing while you loaded It

T into the blade circuit
Might not be able to have it running full wack and loading same time but would be quicker with less mucking around with hoses and in out machine.
If everything was able to be positioned correctly the hoses could stay attached all the time even if using the machine to place the concrete

Is there a gauge etc to measure litres per min or just pump spec etc

kubota kc 110hr
Yes, most decent hydraulic places/agg engineers/plant mechanics should have one.
Plug it into the supply and return(in the case of a digger/tractor) or plumb it in, the are 2 gauges pressure and flow, and a knob that adjusts the pressure. With the engine running increase the pressure with the knob and read the flow on the other gauge.
Determining the pressure that the mixer will run at is the hard part, most dealers will just know the maximum operating pressure, in normal operation the pressure required will be a fair bit less.
The higher the pressure needed will give less flow from a given source, or lower pressure more flow.

if there not mixing while loading and you dont have plenty water in first they will not work,too dry to start you will just bend the paddles back and yous hyd motor will probably blow off on the releif .pto on the back of tractor and load with digger is a better option

Not in my experience
We make dry mix for sand bag header walls and kerb mix in one
And the magic stick has fallen off the aux lever many a time, bringing the mixer to a standstill
Never damaged the machine starting it going again. Occasionally with dry mix a stone will jam in between the side and end paddle but that's only as the mixer is old and we'll worn.simply reverse it a touch and start again.
The only time we have broken the arms off is when it has been severely overloaded

If you had a long umbilical of pipes to come around rear of machine and cable ties to hold it to arm bit like the electric mining face shovels

Along with the thread on putting a valve block on a 8014 this is proving to be one of the more overcomplicated follies we have embarked upon
Ay, you’d have mixed it five times over with the time spent typing, never mind making some contraption. It’s only 6 cube. Will you need the 6 cube all at once if underpinnning?

It’s not just 5 cube, it’s a solution to a lot of problem jobs that are tough access and another string to the bow. Means we’ll get of When difficult access concrete job.

Plus wallers can mix lime mortar easier in pan mixer in bulk.

underpinning but with all removed so mass pour footing

A pan mixer for lime mortars is really a no brainer, can easily take the best part of an hour to get lime to mobilise into a mix in a conventional mixer.

I am intrigued by doing underpinning all in one though 🤔
