seems like it's been done with a bob-cat (skid steer job). It might work
better than a truck, especially if it had tracks, because the tracks would
cut down into the mix better and the turning radius is next to nothing. But
a truck would be worth trying. No experience here. We're even mixing our
light clay--clay-straw--by hand instead of with pitchforks (not from any
desire to be "all natural" but because we don't need much at a time for two
of us to put up on a short wall. If we really really wanted to be all
natural we wouldn't use rubber gloves).

Do any of you have any experience with mixing cob by driving back and

finish, and I'm grasping at straws.
