Routine, daily maintenance costs money. It costs in labor. It costs in lost productivity. And, if you forget to do it, it can cost you a machine. Which is why we build the Model 120 Plaster and Mortar Mixer so you don't have to worry about forgetting. In fact, except for normal engine fuel and oil, you don't have to worry about daily maintenance at all!

The Model 120 is equipped with a self-adjusting, spring-loaded packing that never requires greasing. There's also a completely sealed transmission and clutch to provide positive engagement between engine and paddle-shaft. This eliminates belt slippage and the ordinary wear and tear that causes a mixer to grow old and tired. Add on Essick's standard, rugged construction and reliability and you've got the best money-making combination on the market: greater productivity and longer life.
