It's a belle, and has always been reliable, apart from having a new gear box a few years ago but that was caused by a friend of mine who'd been stopping and starting it when it was fully loaded.

think i will do. as i said we had the more modern belle mixer. there noisier. they dont work properly. and the motor on ours cuts out regularly.

the older models are way better machines. and soo much quieter.

When you order your first ton of sand or gravel from the merchants, you get a free bag.
Or nip down there and blag an empty one of them, or ask any builders working near you.

They call them 1 ton, but is actually about 850kg
