Concrete mixing bucket

[6feetdown]

Does anyone use a concrete mixing bucket on a 360 or compact loader?
If so are they any good?

Anyone use a hydraulic pan mixer on a front loader or tractor, if so any good for mixing semi dry?
Quite a bit cheaper than a mixing bucket too

Yes
Use one on a telehandler for making kerb mix and concrete filled sand bags. They are heavy so I don't think you would want one on a loader tractor. And on the 3 point linkage you wouldn't be able to empty it fully with dry stuff without getting in their with a shovel. Plus you wouldn't be able to dump it in a van.
1 bulk bag of mix takes 5-10 minutes to make from start to finish.
If you want it for dry stuff then buy bigger than you think you need as you cant load them all the way up otherwise they jam up and you have to unload by hand or even worse nap the paddles off, especially if you think reversing it will free it off, it doesn't work they just snap.

Do you think say an 800 ltr on an 860 avant would would work, would use it on the forks.

The one I use is 800ltr on a jcb 520-40 so 2t lift. Full it cant boom out very far before the sli kicks in. I would think it would be a similar situation to with the avant

I looked in to this, it seemed not feasible on such a small carrier.

A pan mixer is probably the best type of mixer for mixing a semi- dry mix.

The avant is 1.9t at low level lift boom in

They do a 600 ltr too

Don't forget the weight is further away due to the size of a pan mixer as well

I can carry a full pack of blocks not sure what they weigh

It will depend on what you want to do. If you want to use on site it should be fine. As long as it can move it around then as it starts to empty you can start to lift it and tip it out. Trying to load vans in the yard it might struggle. If you fitted weld on brackets you would gain as not lifting the forks.
800litre just about fills a bulk bag for dry stuff I don't know if the 600litre would be worthwhile.

It would be for site its no cheaper than having a pour but would give a lot more flexibility
