Putzmeister P10 PTO vs Sunbeam 85 XL: Which to Buy?

Both these mixers target large infrastructure work, but they get there in different ways. The Putzmeister P10 PTO carries the bigger nominal batch and a far stronger engine, built to move the most concrete per trip. The Sunbeam 85 XL fills its drum more fully for its size, so it uses more of its rated capacity on every load, and offers a choice between two drum drive setups.

If the priority is the largest possible batch per trip on big infrastructure routes, the Putzmeister P10 PTO carries more weight per load. If you want a drum that fills more efficiently and the flexibility to choose your drum drive type, the Sunbeam 85 XL is worth a closer look. Check the full concrete mixer range or read the concrete mixer buying guide before deciding.
