Hiya guys, pretty new to the forum, but wondered if anyone could give me a bit of advice regarding concrete/cement mixers.
I am thiking of buying a Belle 150L mixer 2nd hand to use for a garage base and other jobs,( footings for a large retaining wall )
Anyone know what the capacity would be i.e. how many drum fills for a cubic metre, and also what quantities of ballast, cement etc for a cubic meter. Sorry if its a bit basic, (im in the electric trade!)

There are 1000 litres to a cubic metre so 11 and a bit mixes will be needed per cubic metre. The Belle MAXI is by far the best option, all the others are a compromise. Quantities for concrete: A 25kg bag of cement per 90 litre mix gives a ratio of approx 1:6
