Can anyone give me advice on the best way to calculate the proportions of Cement/Ballast for the above size mixer for a full load (90L).

I have the Cement and Ballast in 25Kg bags and will be using a mix ratio of something like 1:5.

I know measuring out in Buckets will work,( 1 Bucket or Shovel of cement to 5 Buckets or Shovels of Ballast). I just need to know the quickest way of getting a full load in the cement mixer so that I can get the right mix and maximise my time.


Thanks
