Background and Identification
Cement mixers, also called concrete mixers, combine cement with water and an aggregate like sand or gravel to make concrete. They do this with a revolving drum or container. As the drum turns, it keeps the concrete inside moving, which mixes it together and keeps it from setting as quickly. Cement mixers come in a variety of sizes depending on the need of the project. Portable cement mixers like this one are useful because workers can make and contain the liquid concrete onsite, which gives them lots of time to pour the concrete before it sets.
The Toro Cement Mixer model 68009HD is a 9 cubic foot capacity concrete mixer that is designed for both commercial and weekend projects. This Toro cement mixer uses a 7.9-horsepower Honda GX240 gasoline-powered engine to power the rotation of the drum. It includes a 14-gauge steel engine cover with an exterior engine stop switch. The cement mixer features a polyethylene drum and a heavy-duty axle with 13-inch tires and axle springs for towing. It can be towed around a worksite easily and has a wide drum opening to make it easier to pour cement, water, and sand or gravel into the drum to make concrete. The 68009HD model includes a schedule 80 tow bar with a 2-inch ball coupler and safety chains.
The Toro Cement Mixer model 68009HD can be identified by its red or black steel frame with a red, black, or white polyethylene drum.
