Buddy Equipment
Jacksonville, Fla.

Able and Stable

Buddy Equipment has introduced the Locking Leg for all Buddy Extreme Duty and Stone Construction Equipment's 655PM, 755PM and 855PM mixers. Many masons remove one wheel from mortar mixers and place the axle on a concrete block to deter theft. By using the new Locking Leg on the axle, masons can still remove a wheel, but the danger of the unstable use of a concrete block is totally eliminated. Also, removing the wheel on the dumping side of the mixer allows crews to be able to position wheelbarrows, mortar buggies or mortar pans right under the mixer drum, lessening the chance of mortar spills.
