Macons M6TM vs Sunbeam 65 XL: Which Transit Mixer Fits Your Site?

The Macons M6TM and the Sunbeam 65 XL both carry ready-mix concrete from the plant to your site, but they move the drum in different ways. The Macons M6TM uses a hydrostatic drum drive, which runs smooth and steady and puts less strain on the truck engine. The Sunbeam 65 XL offers a Slave Engine or PTO drive instead, a simpler system that most local workshops can repair.

Water tank size also matters for a driver who washes the drum and chute after every load. The Macons M6TM carries 600 litres against 450 litres on the Sunbeam 65 XL, so it needs fewer refill stops on a long route. If your routes are long and hilly and you want less engine strain, the Macons M6TM is the better fit. If you want a simple drive system that is easy to get repaired nearby, the Sunbeam 65 XL works well. See the full range of concrete mixers or read our guide to types of concrete mixers.
