Small Screening Plant

[Jim1764]

Hello All,
Anyone have any ideas or plans or pictures of a homemade dirt screener? I'm looking to make something that can be pulled around behind the tractor easily. Also what about the vibrating action of the screen to sift the dirt through and get the rocks to roll off?
Any Ideas or plans would be great.

Thanks,
Jim

I have a posting in Projects with a title of : " Screening Loam or Gravel". If you have access to a welder construct a trough of angle iron. Make this with three sides of the angle iron turned up. The fourth side will have the angle iron welded from the bottom so that there is an open side. Weld in some heavy expanded metal. Suspend this slanting down towards the open end. Attach an air operated vibrator ( Vibco, etc ) to the high end. Dump in dirt and turn on the vibrator. You could suspend the trough with cables attached with cable clamps to a frame. This would make it easy to change the angle of the trough. If you want to make it mobile you will have to construct a frame that is mobile, IE wheels, fork cuttouts etc.
