I think traditional mixers use kneading. The inside fins pull the crete up then drop it at the top where it kneads down and then repeats. I think this side mixing idea might not work well since it leaves areas where crete can hide and not mix. I think a better solution would be to just mount a mixing bucket in the deere bucket and spin it.

In a pinch, you can lay your pre-mix in the forms dry. Wet it, screed, finish. Poke around it, here and there, to make sure you got it all wet. I ended up doing that when the mixer broke right after getting started. Put it down in two layers to make sure I didn't leave any dry spots, bottom a little wet, top slightly "stiff." It worked. Can't find any difference between the first section I did and the one I mixed in the forms Read about this in an Ag Shop textbook. Amazing how something you read (mainly out of boredom) in high school can come to your rescue nearly 40 years later.
I have wondered if this would work. Seems like as long as you mind how much water you put in and make sure the contents of the bag don't separate it should work pretty well. Especially if you are only making a footpath or driveway on top of solid base.
There’s already a bucket attachment that does this exact thing with a retractable openable whole on the bottom to let out the mixture, check out Andrew Camarata’s channel 👌🏼
Those ribbon augers are a disaster waiting to happen when they're constrained and supported. You'd be better off to weld some paddles onto a shaft and have it supported on the other end.

When loading a concrete mixer always start with water/additives before adding your agregates. Else you'll have a big clump of solid dirt that won't mix with the water and you will have to shovel it out. But then again, I've never used a hydraulic cement mixer... Only puny 1/2hp ones.
The sketch factor is strong with this one! Be sure to have your apprentice wear long sleeves when he reaches in to guide the chunkys into the spinamakthung. Power take off yer arm!

There is always a support on the far end that holds the screw at the bottom of the trough to achieve complete mixing. Make sure and leave enough room for the largest rocks you will be mixing so they don't cause the screw to bind.
