Let's see here.  This machine does not sit on the kitchen counter top.

Here's  an estimate of cost to build a machine from new components

Engine (John Deere, Perkins, Duetz)    $5,000
Drive adapters and couplers    $900
Robbins-Meyers Pump  $5,500
Hydraulic components  $3,000
Agitator/mixer  $2,200
Fuel and hydraulic tanks  $450
Special low profile trailer   $2,000
welding/special fab components $1,800
misc components   $ 300
2" hose and victaulic ftgs $650
Assembly labor 40 hrs @ $60 hr   $2,400

Total   $24,520 and this is without a profit for the fabricator
