A mixing drill stand, for supporting a mixing drill having a mixing drill bit perpendicularly above a ground surface. The stand includes a rear panel and a pair of side panels that selectively fold substantially flat, and selectively deploy where the side panels extend substantially perpendicular to the rear panel, and support a drill support assembly in a horizontal position with respect to the ground surface. The drill support assembly has a central opening through which the mixing drill bit extends toward the ground surface while the mixing drill is supported by the drill support assembly.

1. A mixing drill stand, for supporting a mixing drill having a mixing bit upon a ground surface, comprising: a rear panel, for resting upon the ground surface when deployed, having a first and second side;a pair of side panels, one of the side panels hingedly connected to the first side of the rear panel and the other of the side panels hingedly connected to the second side of the rear panel, such that the side panels selectively fold substantially parallel to the rear panel and deploy substantially perpendicularly to the rear panel for resting upon the ground surface; anda drill support assembly, which selectively folds substantially parallel to the side panels and rear panel and selectively deploys to a position substantially perpendicular to the rear panels and side panel, the drill support assembly having a central opening for supporting the mixing drill such that the mixing bit extends substantially perpendicularly to the ground surface, wherein the rear panel and side panels each have top horizontal members; wherein the drill support assembly is hingedly connected to the top horizontal member of the rear panel; and wherein when deployed, the drill support assembly is supported at the top horizontal members of the side panels, the support assembly including a pair of support arms extending therefrom, each of the arms having a proximal end proximal to the support assembly and a distal hooked end distal to the support assembly, when the arms are deployed the hooked ends engage the top horizontal members of the side panels. 2. The mixing drill stand as recited in claim 1, wherein the drill support assembly further comprises: a support tray having a shelf defining the central opening, the support tray open to the central opening at its front, the central opening having a width; anda rear wall and side walls extending upwardly from the shelf, a side wall width is defined as a distance between the side walls. 3. The mixing drill stand as recited in claim 2, further comprising an adapter plate, the adapter plate having a width which is slightly smaller than the side wall width for allowing the adapter plate to slide onto the shelf and between the side walls, the adapter plate having a central opening for supporting the mixing drill and allowing the mixing bit to extend downwardly through the central opening of the adapter plate and the central opening of the drill support assembly. 4. The mixing drill stand as recited in claim 3, wherein the adapter plate has a front edge, and wherein a bit slit extends from the front edge to the central opening, the bit slit allowing the mixing drill bit to extend laterally into the central opening of the adapter plate without requiring the mixing drill bit to extend downwardly into the central opening. 5. The mixing drill stand as recited in claim 4, wherein the side panels and rear panel are adjustable in height, to adjust a height of the drill support assembly above the ground surface below the stand. 6. The mixing drill stand as recited in claim 5, wherein the side panels and rear panel each have a pair of vertical members that are connected to the top horizontal member of said panel; and wherein each of said vertical members telescopes to adjust its length and thereby adjust the height of the drill support assembly. 7. The mixing drill stand as recited in claim 1, wherein the side panels and rear panel are adjustable in height, to adjust a height of the drill support assembly above the ground surface below the stand. 8. The mixing drill stand as recited in claim 7, wherein the side panels and rear panel each have a pair of vertical members that are connected to the top horizontal member of said panel; and wherein each of said vertical members telescopes to adjust its length and thereby adjust the height of the drill support assembly. 9. The mixing drill stand as recited in claim 8, wherein the drill support assembly has a pair of hooked arms; and wherein when deployed the hooked arms engage the top horizontal members of the side panels. 10. The mixing drill stand as recited in claim 9, wherein the drill support assembly further comprises: a support tray having a shelf defining the central opening, the support tray open to the central opening at its front, the central opening having a width; anda rear wall and side walls extending upwardly from the shelf, a side wall width is defined as a distance between the side walls. 11. The mixing drill stand as recited in claim 10, further comprising an adapter plate, the adapter plate having a width which is slightly smaller than the side wall width for allowing the adapter plate to slide onto the shelf and between the side walls, the adapter plate having a central opening for supporting the mixing drill and allowing the mixing bit to extend downwardly through the central opening of the adapter plate and the central opening of the drill support assembly. 12. The mixing drill stand as recited in claim 11, wherein the adapter plate has a front edge, and wherein a bit slit extends from the front edge to the central opening, the bit slit allowing the mixing drill bit to extend laterally into the central opening of the adapter plate without requiring the mixing drill bit to extend downwardly into the central opening.
