Claim 14:
15. A vehicle system comprising:
one or more processing circuits having one or more memory devices coupled to one or more processors, the one or more memory devices configured to store instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

receive a target property for the drum contents;
operate a drum drive system of the vehicle to drive the mixing drum at a first drive speed;
estimate a current property of the drum contents at a current location without using a sensor positioned to acquire data from the drum contents, wherein the current property is estimated based on (i) the initial property of the drum contents, (ii) rotations of the mixing drum between the initial location and the current location at the first drive speed, and (iii) at least one of (a) an adjustment performed with the mixing drum during transit between the initial location and the current location, (b) environment data, or (c) GPS data; and
