The bucket mixing system generally includes a bucket which includes a built-in mixer adapted to mix materials and expel them through a plurality of vents within the lower surface of the bucket. A hydraulic motor is secured to the bucket which drives a drive assembly. The drive assembly is secured so as to rotate a central rod from which a plurality of anchors and mixers extend radially. Auger linkages are interwoven through the anchors and mixers to form a flexible auger configuration. The mixers may rotated bi-directionally to mix materials within the bucket and to expel mixed materials through the vents.
