Advice for pouring a small concrete pad.

I had a 2’X4’ pad of concrete I had to tear out.

I would like to pour a new pad and I had some questions:

First, if I just use generic concrete mix, for smaller batches, is there a paddle attachment that will work with a regular drill to mix it all up?

Second, given that it is such a small pad, could it be possible to just do the dry pour method? I know that is a trash method overall, but I am just curious as to whether or not, for such a small pad, it would work out alright.

For the record, this is not a load bearing pad. It is a 2’X4’X4” pad. It is a glorified paver. I had to tear it out because of ground swelling. Had to level everything under it and the original pad was like 6 inches thick so it was way too heavy to lift without busting it up.
