Lord Ferguson Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 As the title really... I need a cement mixer at work to do a few jobs... I was considering purchasing a PTO driven version... anyone had any experience of them ... anything I should look for in a model ... I guess I'll be buying a new one... but my budget is tight. Any thoughts or experience you can share would be most greatful lads and lasses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON. Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 There was a tidy teagle PTO one on ebay eariler only made about ?140 odd quid i think it was in good nick as well :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I think Teagle would be the way to go Marky......We have a Teagle one at work but it's driven from the spool valves rather than the PTO but it's a sturdy wee machine and works a treat......

Lord Ferguson Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Well... todays findings... A new Teagle is ?830... but they only do the hydraulic version now.. and thats not what I am looking for..... I want a PTO version really... I left my copy of Farm Trader at home today... and I've seen a danelander one in there for ?420... failing that I can get a Kilworth one for ?790... All sadly a bit out of my price range it has to be said :'( I'll keep an eye on ebay to see what happens on there... but this weekends hole filling is now officially cancelled... we'll all be up the fox pub in Bar Hill if anyone cares to join us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
