AJAX AF 10XP vs Putzmeister P9 PTO: Which to Buy?

These two mixers sit at the top end of the range, but they are built on different truck frames. The AJAX AF 10XP carries the bigger 10 cubic metre batch and rides on a 4 axle truck for extra load spread. The Putzmeister P9 PTO carries a slightly smaller 9 cubic metre batch but runs on a 3 axle frame with a clearly stated 279 HP engine, which can make it easier to steer around tighter turns.

If your priority is the biggest possible batch per trip and your routes suit a 4 axle truck, the AJAX AF 10XP delivers more concrete per run. If you want a known, powerful engine and a frame that some drivers find easier to manoeuvre, the Putzmeister P9 PTO is the steadier choice. Browse the wider concrete mixer range or check the concrete mixer buying guide for more on choosing between large-capacity mixers.

Choose the Putzmeister P9 PTO when a known 279 HP engine and easier turning on a 3 axle frame matter more to you.
