LOL drove concrete mixers for years , and how many of us have heard " its ok we had a tipper in earlier " problem is tippers dont have 15ton of concrete going round in circles , and once a mixer starts to lean over then the fun begins .
he could have stopped the drum and had six ship engines. 600,000 hp wouldn't have gotten him out. Traction Traction Traction and Not sinking, Not sinking, Not sinking. look at the soil looks like he found the bottom 12" down. if the bottom was deeper and it got down on the frame, he would be stuck like chuck
@icupepn Please forgive my ignorance, so essentially IF the barrel is turning, the drive wheels arent as much, ( or less avail to them< , im assuming he could have stopped it, long enough to get into position?
@yamahonkawazuki when the drum is turning its robbing you of horsepower !!! most new drivers wont stop the drum because of a note inside the cab of the truck that says drum must be rotating during transit. with it stopped on the job site it will not hurt the truck . also the movement of the drum will and the concrete inside will hamper you in getting into a job site. another common mistake new drivers make is they will lock there truck in low range and leave it in drive.
seeing most front discharge mixers are auto transmission these days. this will cause the truck to shift gears on loose dirt or sand and the wheels to slip or dig in. if you lock it in low range and shift it down into 1 st gear. it wont shift again and will move more freely through the site. hope this helps you and others...
wut type of Engine and transmission does it have...the transmission part sounds like a Allison Ht748 from the 80's!!

what company is this

The drum being stopped is not to save horesepower.It allows the weight distribution of the truck to remain stable while moving through rough terrain.
Using the advantage the power divider lends to enhance the traction of the truck gives maximum traction.
The drum spinning with a load in it throws the weight from one wheel to the other defeating what advantage that wheel might have at the moment.
I have years in backup mixers as well as front discharge.This has been proven over and over again.

When the firtst truck has to be pulled out, it's time to call a pump.

He was empty, so the bowl turning would take a very small amount of horsepower and it wasn't really spinning that fast anyways.

I drive a mixer and our tires deflate for jobs like this.

Woah! If he would have slowed that barrel down he would have not lost as much power to the drive axles. Must have been a rookie driver.
