Thumbs up Built a Soil Screening Machine

Am in the process of finishing up the latest project, a small screening machine.
My use is mostly for Topsoil and Compost, and some occasional fill dirt and mixing of soils for gardening and landscaping.



It's powered by an "old school" 5hp Honda horizontal shaft motor.
The screening bed is 4 feet wide by 6 feet of length. My BX bucket is in the 48" width range, that's why I didn't make it wider.

Today I built a pair of temporary transport wheels that are removable, so it can be wheeled around.
Screened about 3 yards of moist clay filldirt, and it did a respectable job. I suspect that will be the worst stuff I will put through it.

Tomorrow will test it on a a few yards of compsot straight from the pile, to see how it does.
