When it comes to mixing concrete for your small construction or landscaping projects, you may wonder whether it’s better to use a concrete mixer or a wheelbarrow. Each method has its advantages and drawbacks, but the convenience and efficiency of a mobile concrete mixer such as our MudMixer® significantly outweigh manual mixing with a wheelbarrow.
Manual Mixing with a Wheelbarrow
Mixing small batches of concrete manually in a wheelbarrow is a traditional method favored for its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. However, it comes with its fair share of challenges. While small batches up to 80 pounds can be managed, larger batches become physically demanding and may compromise consistency.
To mix concrete with a wheelbarrow, you’ll need to add dry ingredients first, blend them thoroughly, and gradually incorporate water while mixing with a mortar hoe or flat shovel. This process requires precision and strength, and the process can be messy, resulting in extra cleanup.
