How do I fix uneven batches in portable concrete mixers?

[ZionChan]

Been banging my head against the wall over this uneven batching problem with my portable mixer. One batch turns out soupy, next one’s chunky as oatmeal, and sometimes it’s all pockets of dry mix. I’m usually pouring patios and walkways, nothing too fancy, but lately I’m nervous clients will notice. Tried rinsing better, fiddling with water amount, being careful with shovel loads, you name it. Starting to wonder if it’s my mixer’s speed or maybe bad technique. Anyone else been through this or got tips I might not have tried yet? Would love some real-world advice before I lose any more sleep.
