FAQ about this model
How much mortar does the HSM 8 mix in one batch?
About 2.5 to 3 bags per batch, in an 8 cu ft steel drum. That size suits crews running continuous masonry, stucco, or plaster work, where one batch keeps several masons supplied. If you normally mix a single bag at a time for patch and repair work, a smaller drum will be quicker to charge and clean between batches.
What are the power options on this mixer?
It is listed with a Honda GX-240 gas engine rated 7.9 HP, with a Leeson 1.5 HP, 120V electric motor available as an option. Gas is the choice for open sites with no power available. The 120V electric motor is the one to specify for indoor, enclosed, or noise-restricted work where engine exhaust is a problem.
Can the HSM 8 be towed between job sites?
Yes, it comes with a 2-inch hitch tow bar, and a pintle hitch is available as an option. The mixer weighs 610 lbs and rides on 5.3" x 12" tires. Check your tow vehicle rating and your state's requirements for lighting, plates, and safety chains before towing on public roads, since those items are not part of the machine.
What are the height and clearance figures I should plan around?
Overall height is 57.5 inches and charging height is 59.75 inches. Use the charging height to confirm your crew can lift and dump bags over the drum opening without a platform, and to check clearance through garage doors, under scaffolding, or inside a shop. At 610 lbs, plan on ramps or a lift gate to load it into a truck.
How is the drum built and what does upkeep involve?
The drum is heavy-duty steel with a horizontal mixing shaft, which is the configuration built for mortar, stucco, and plaster rather than for concrete with large aggregate. Upkeep is mostly routine: wash out the drum and paddles before the mix sets, keep the discharge area clear, and follow the engine or motor manufacturer's own service schedule.
Who is this mixer a good fit for, and who should look elsewhere?
It fits masonry, stucco, and plaster contractors mixing multiple bags at a time and moving between sites behind a truck. It is less suited to one-person repair work, to jobs where the machine must be carried up stairs or into tight interiors given its 610 lbs, or to mixing concrete with coarse aggregate.
