I too was joking but sometimes with text it's kinda hard to tell.
I think a lot of shit gets started on here that would go differently if it weren't just some faceless text.
Yes, and so I apologize. I like to get along with everybody.

Whatever. I been mixing batches for years now, whatever. Sounds like a bunch of whining to me. Ooh....

Seriously dude. Do a self explore, reread your junk posts and evaluate whether or not you can contribute in any way.
Contribute to what?

I asked an honest, specific question about a piece of machinery. You have done nothing but posted spam in response. Nothing.

In your first spam post, you said you weren't trying to offend. In the second, you clearly were. Why the change? I think it's because you're a really, really mean person. And mean people just plain suck.

So, maybe you should reread your posts and evaluate whether or not you can contribute in any way. You haven't so far, so I'm not holding out hope.

And I thought the Politics section was tough. :)

Hey @UncleBuck, come on over to the Organics section. You wouldn't last a day here. These guys are REAL cutthroats. :)
the funny thing is us organic guys are pretty chill, you guys got me laughing my ass off over here.
I got a shitty back myself, that was my initial allure with no-till setups.
Had a 115 thousand dollar neuro-surgery that didn't do a whole lot of shit for me, so I gotta improvise a lil.

Are there any "affordable" electric/motorized soil mixers out there?

I've always used my (manual) compost tumbler, but the past few times I mixed soil, my back got really sore.

I'd rather not rent one, since I mix soil a lot. I'd rather buy my own. But my guess is they're too expensive. I did a Google search and the ones I saw were $3500+, for one-half-cubic-yard machines.

Does anybody have one or know of some more affordable units?
hey T-bone I feel ya on the back issue man, check out the no-till stuff, it's really really not hard at all.
And the results are better than when I was mixing every batch.
just gotta do a lil research and do it right the first time, and you'll be thanking yourself, trust me.

OP... I hear us on mixing soil is s young man's game, plus I am smarter now.... 3 years ago I bought a cheap cement mixer from harbor freight for just under 200 USD.... the smartest thing I have done plus faces my back... moving by hand isn't bad when going one bag of dirt, but I mix up enough to fill 2 65 gallon totes full, the cement mixer was the way to go... plus unlike mixing by hand it is faster and more uniform... 200 is cheaper than doctors bill in the long run..

A cement mixer can be used TWICE a year. Once for soil mix...cleaned out....then used with ice and sugar leaf for cold water extraction.
