Homemade Topsoil Screener!!!!!!

In this video we are running our homemade topsoil screener. Using the asv rc60 to feed feed the screener. #topsoilscreener

Excellent job on the vibrating sifter, loved the way you used mostly things that would have been wasted or never used again. Thank you for sharing this awesome video Sir. 👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you for watching.

[@gilguillemette4174]

It’s a great idea. Thanks for the insight

[@dariogonzalez6249]

awesome job,practical and economical thanks for the tip.

[@dirtworxsolutions]

Thanks for watching.

[@richardross7219]

Very good job. The guy on the skid steer needs to feed a little slower or the material needs to be drier. I guess that a little more weight on the shaler would help. I built a 3"- grizzly, 30+ years ago. I had very rocky soil with boulders up to 6' diameter. I used an old shovel dozer and ended up with ~2,000 CY of tailings. Good Luck, Rick

nice!

[@dirtworxsolutions]

Thanks

[@dekonfrost7]

Good one

[@louisbrentnell2551]

It’s a winner.

Increase angle and move the vibratory shaft farther up the screen for better results

[@kmf9921]

do you think too much material will slide off if angle is increased? Interested in making one.

[@geraldcroft9020]

Btw looks good Just what I want

[@dariogonzalez6249]

Thanks its awesome, no need to spend big money.

[@dariogonzalez6249]

we built one like yours with leftover materials and it does work very well,only difference we added a 4'x8' on a 45 to not have to go so much under.Thanks again.

[@dirtworxsolutions]

Awesome hope it works good. I really like mine for what I have in to it.

hello from the Netherlands . thanks for the video . Sincerely Hollandduck

[@dirtworxsolutions]

Hello thanks for watching.

[@hollandduck79]

@@dirtworxsolutions you're welcome 👍

[@austinchalkey2572]

Hello I want to try and make one. What do the lawn mower wheels do in the back? Does the screen pivot on those? Did you have to put hinges on the screen so it doesn't fall off?

[@dirtworxsolutions]

The wheels let the screen deck shake free. It has chains on each side that hold the screen deck on the frame.

[@Lawn_Care_Lounge_tv_uk]

doesn't look powerful enough to shake it works okay

[@geraldcroft9020]

Really appreciate where did you find that three-quarter inch screen fabric. Desperate

[@dirtworxsolutions]

Thanks for watching. I found that screen at my local steel supplier. They may ship the name is Steel Towne Elk Mound WI.

[@HenkElzinga]

Would it help if you made the piece of iron heavier (0.53) and more from center?

[@dirtworxsolutions]

Thanks for your input.

[@dantekeskin1512]

He doesn’t need it heavier he needs it to have a wider revolution

[@mikeschiavone7336]

Don't a lot of small stones make it through the mesh since it's 3/4?

[@dirtworxsolutions]

If you screen dirt with alot of rock in it yes it does have some small rock in it. But most of our topsoil that I run though it doesn't have alot of small rock.

[@nathanbawolek2990]

Where did you get the screen?

[@dirtworxsolutions]

From my local steel shop. 3/4 inch woven metal.

[@CodeX-fj4bk]

Looks like she needs more weight to get the shake more violent, we got a huge screener on tracks and that thing shakes the ground 50 feet away

[@dirtworxsolutions]

Yes that would help more of an angle would also help. I already have an issue with the bearing going out more weight would make that worse. Thanks for ths input

[@CodeX-fj4bk]

I seen you only had a couple bearings for such a long shaft. Try to get the offset weight closer to the motor side and add a few more bearings. Keep them greased helps too. Imma be building one similar to yours!

[@InspiredCraftsman]

​@dirtworxsolutions are you using spherical roller bearings? Regular ball bearings won't hold up, same for the cast bearing housing that are common on inexpensive bearings. Do you have access to a mill or lathe?

[@dirtworxsolutions]

They are just normal bearings I have only replaced them once in 5 years it has been holding up well for what it is.

[@InspiredCraftsman]

@@dirtworxsolutions that's good to hear, I want to build something similar for my property. I tend to overthink my builds when sometimes throwing something together will work great. I thought the weight bar as a shaft was great.
