Macons M6TM vs Sunbeam 85: Which Transit Mixer to Choose?

The Macons M6TM and the Sunbeam 85 both serve regional concrete delivery work, but at different drum sizes. The M6TM carries a 6.0 cubic metre drum, uses a hydrostatic drum drive, and runs a 110 HP engine with a slightly bigger 600 litre water tank. The Sunbeam 85 carries a bigger 8.0 cubic metre drum for higher-volume batching and gives a choice between a slave engine or PTO for the drum drive.

A buyer working mid-sized regional projects will find the Macons M6TM's hydrostatic drum drive and bigger water tank a good fit for steady, everyday delivery. A buyer needing bigger loads per trip for high-volume work will get more from the Sunbeam 85's larger drum and choice of drum drive systems. Browse the full transit mixer range or read the concrete mixer buying guide for more help choosing.
