Too much flow, without switching down out of high-flow mode, spins the gear motor faster than it's built for. That's heat and wear, the same as running any gear motor too fast — not a faster mix, just a shorter motor life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe one number that catches people out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWet concrete weighs about \u003cstrong\u003e4,000 lb per cubic yard.\u003c\/strong\u003e A half-yard mixer, filled all the way, carries roughly \u003cstrong\u003e2,000 lb of concrete on top of a 900 lb bucket.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo this math on your own machine before you order.
