Couldn't find reasonable mid-size screen: made my own.
I'm having a 4'x7' screen and frame made by a carpenter. The top has 4' long horizontal re-bar ribs to stop big rocks. Under that is two layers of sturdy wire mesh (concrete reinforcing wire) cross alligned to achieve a narrower sieve. The frame is 2"x6" oak planks with 4"x4" oak legs. The legs on the forward long side are shorter than on the rear long side in order to have the screen slant 25 degrees and cause coarse debris to roll off.
I intend to feed soil into the unit with my tractor FEL 72" bucket, then tickle it with the toothbar as necessary. It will be heavy and I expect I'll need to drop the bucket and quick attach the forklift to haul it around.
