Had my Belle minimix 150 for 2.5 yrs now. Been used fairly regularly since on home use only. Been mixing large quantities cement whilst doing flagging lately. Today whilst in use the drum dropped with a load 12 shovels sand, 1/2 bag cement. Was pretty full at this but surely this shouldn't have made the drum drop with weight. After taking drum off i've got couple hair line cracks (+ slight buckling) around centre hole at back of drum, where it connects onto motor spindle.
1. Would it be possible to weld the cracks around this centre hole (reverse of drum) and solve the problem or am i better to buy a new drum?
2. What's max load (shovels sand/cement) minimax 150 'should' be able to handle?
