[papercreters] 55 gallon mixer

Need information on building a stationary 55 gallon mixer.

I will be using an old Cushman rear axle to build the mixer with.

Questions are:

1. Will a 10 HP gas motor be strong enough to drive it?

2. At what RPM should the mixer blade turn?
There is a 2 1/2 to 1 ratio in the axle.
(ie - wheel turns 1 time, axle turns 2 1/2 times)

Thanks
Larry
