Screening Topsoil With A Trommel

[@Todd.Roberts]

A nice change of pace . Something different than stumping and clearing .

[@erikcourtney1834]

I’m sure he feels the same way. Oh you wasn’t talking about us 🤣🤣

[@Todd.Roberts]

@@erikcourtney1834 lol

[@ryanhoward1013]

Something we could watch all day long

[@Todd.Roberts]

@@ryanhoward1013 yes . I helped him a while back to screen some dirt .Iran the back home for him .

[@ryanhoward1013]

Yeah, I just looked it's been two years since he was running Charlie's screener. Hi Todd, How are you doing fine? I hope. I sire hope you can get back in the truck this coming summer. Have a great night.

[@craigwavra3495]

Always good to see different operations you deal with or know! Cool machines!!

[@chrisbartrum3201]

Operating a small factory right there, Chris. Brought a smile to my face.

[@terryrogers1025]

You look pretty comfy in that CAT excavator young man. The screener does a nice job, that top soil looked like black gold. Thanks for the video, nice to see a little change of pace every once in a while, appreciate you taking us along.

[@mikeznel6048]

They have weird windshield locks. They’re kind of awkward to put up and back down.

[@NFSGamerful]

@@mikeznel6048 I hate them with a passion, i've hit my head on them way too often already, especially in our 315 with the smaller cab

[@arkansas1336]

Great video content! I love watching crushers and screens doing their thing. Thanks.

[@michaelmullins1290]

I love machinery. All of it. That a beautiful pile of top soil. Amazing how much money is sitting there. I thought Charlie would pop up in the video.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Gettin' to dig dirt. That had to be fun. Thanks for showing us other types of dirt equipment and sharing with us all. This was fun, Chris.

[@dcos5]

Going all Gold Rush on us with the trommel action.

[@donnamullins2089]

Good looking screened soil. Wish I had a truck load. Thanks Chris.

[@CorwinBos]

Spent alot of hours loading these with a 963, excavator and even a payloader over the years. Its a boring job, but that screened black dirt is worth its weight in gold. Looks wet. Probably could re-run the stuff that is being discharged once its completely dry and get alot more black dirt out of it.

[@toadhall1951]

What a brilliant machine! Greetings from England.

[@charleswelch249]

That looks like a great change of pace Chris, hope you enjoyed it.

[@pault8714]

Used to load one with a loading shovel , slow job . Speed it up and too much would come out the drum . The remote control on the belt was good though.

[@kaboom4679]

Nice change feeding a trommel screener , haven't had a topsoil video in a minute . Also haven't seen a beaver dam removal vid in some time . I miss those .

[@papajon-1000]

Glad to see you figured out you were holding the remote upside down. Lol

[@dougmay8924]

How COOL 😎 ❤Thanks AGAIN!!! Let's Dig 18 &BEYOND!!!!

[@mikeembrey9176]

Looks like great top soil 👍🏻🇺🇲

[@mischef18]

That was real interesting bro so thanks for letting us tag along. Looks a big difference to Charlie's one. Safe travels. Ken.

[@Sean-i4r]

Sweet,been wishing you southern folks would start doing this topsoil screening

[@Highstranger951]

This isn’t new around here.

[@Sean-i4r]

@@Highstranger951 it is on Chris's channel, with Charlie a few times,it's rare,is what im saying Mr. Perfect

[@davestuart6593]

Man that’s a cool,expensive machine,thx for sharing!

[@redjohnson4859]

I see a two year old one with less than 500 hours on it for just $279,000.....

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

Looks like your mighty comfortable Chris. where was this at?? Andrew Camarata has something like that but for Rock crushing, that he does to repair his roads on his properties in upstate New York. He also has a small screener but not worth the time he puts into running it. That soil w3as like black gold..Great Video Chris, thank you for sharing, Appreicated.

[@rondastump8930]

Luv this piece of equipment! Thank u for video, very interesting. God's blessings and be careful!

[@garymessina1609]

Great change great video thanks Chris should get a video on rock crushing should sell Geoff some screened loam

[@by1stander]

Can’t wait for the clean out to see how many ounce’s they get!

[@samvoyles2096]

Letsdig18 quote of the week "Mix it together makes it better"!

[@Fearon0332]

if you start getting too much dirt coming off the tailings belt, slow the feeder down alittle bit otherwise those screens clog up and carry the dirt right to the back and youll lose it in the tailings

[@wallbawden5511]

Must say just after you got started there showing us around remote moving it on to stock pile so off road truck could get away now had to replay this cupple times BUT NEARLY FELL OF ME CHAIR R A L M A O WHEN YOU SAY YOU HAD TO SLOW DOWN SOME you slow down did not think that even remotely possible Cheers Chris

[@Della-ih5hj]

Now this is a machine I haven't seen before,..may wonders never cease,..it is different, but cool,..

[@aady4697]

That’s the best soil compactor that money can buy.

[@vincenovak4570]

Have you ever heard the saying one bad mistake covers up 100 good ones? you’re one hell of a good operator but when I see you get out of the machine and the bucket is held over another piece of equipment. It makes me roll my eyes.

[@markshietze4783]

that's a purty Handy-dandy machine ! I'll wager its got everything you need , including Head Phones , and a sunken Hot Tub

[@StirlingLighthouse]

I saw the thumbnail and said, oh oh, Chris has the gold bug. Lol😂

[@burnleystarman2294]

Nice. That is one expensive wee beastie.

[@daviddogruel7851]

Cool. Is there a version of this machine or something similar that is self-propelled and can "dig" about a foot deep, screen rocks out and then spread the cleaned soil as it moves along?

[@debcamp2359]

Its always a cool video with you.

[@donpanzer5348]

That's a little bit nicer than my homemade 55 gallon drum version 😆

[@redjohnson4859]

It's 2 to 3 hundred grand you saved that I like!

[@martyfarrell9459]

You need a sluice on there, visions of Gold Rush. There's a huge McCloskey plant 20 minutes from me, up in the Great White North.

[@kevinsmith5501]

Wow Chris is going to make His Hyundia jealous he is on a CAT

[@derekdobson601]

New cats are 💩

[@blondelizard5453]

Old cat are 👍

[@darkrevenger04]

This trommel screener would be just the ticket for Lot 6 to help narrow the road

[@njonebale7889]

Those McClosky’s are the nicest trommel screeners….betcha wish you had a Cat now!…the thumbs are the fastest!

[@stevestormssr5492]

Wow, it's been a while since you last used a Trammell on a video. About 3 years I think! 👍

[@vinnyp6685]

do you know how many years that topsoil as been piled up and rotting to come out of the screening plant looking that good? Jeff should stock pile all of his stripped topsoil, he would have a fortune in a few of years!

[@noahdziadyk3412]

the guy that imports all those mclosky machines owns a large quarry and dumpsite along with a multi million dollar excavation company, dumpster service and heavy haul company based here in IL. Oh he also owns a nation wide equipment sales company

[@scssarge4409]

What I can see is this soil is River loam a mix of soil and sand matter!?

[@michaelmcclure8673]

Chris You get to play with all the cool big boy toys .😂😂😊

[@wendymorrison5803]

There is always a use for screened topsoil. What will happen to the coarse stuff?

[@GerardoCabrera-q9f]

Boy Barnie is always hauling something ..Go Barnnie Go.. ⭐👍⭐GoTeamLetsDig18⭐👍⭐

[@Rich21456]

That would be a great addition to your equipment

[@JR-wc8zo]

Chris, I enjoy your videos. I would like to be able to clearly hear what you are saying all the time. Perhaps a microphone would help. I like your attention to detail and quality of your work. Keep up the great work! I will be watching.

[@Leslie-e5j]

Read the transcripts as you follow along with the video

[@ronthacker211]

Cool machine. Does a good job.

[@scottburk4083]

Have a good one Chris!!!❤😊

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

That’s some pretty topsoil!

[@Chrisdakiwi100]

Such a little bucket it’s so cute 😂😂😂

[@IsMise]

These machines manufactured in a village near me and exported world-wide Not bad for a small Irish company

[@erikcourtney1834]

The world is ending.. Chris is in a CAT. Not my first choice but they’re ok when they work.🤣

[@richardmcclain7476]

What happens to the land you strip all the topsoil from . Enjoy your videos. Just asking for information 6:31

[@maxmacdonald7174]

Yes, there's been a few times I wonder if this would be a good thing to do. Hats off to the landowner for good stewardship.

[@haroldhawkins9370]

Nice video Chris, I know that in some of your older videos that you was screening top soil, I was wondering if you still was.

[@mrc109]

Do it some more please with other specification materials. Does any of this stuff get "bagged" for retail market sales?

[@Car-dash-Ian]

I was going to say Nice to see an Irish machine working in the USA but they are also located in ontario Canada

[@GARDENER42]

Mr Bealy Good could do with one of those. First though, he could do with some topsoil.🙂🙃😁

[@bosshogg3548]

Job well done 👍🏻

[@TgWags69]

Seems like if they had one of those a little bigger mounted to a lowboy semi trailer that you could have moved around by your hauler guy, would be a beneficial thing on some of your jobs. Even if it was just knocking dirt off of stumps or other clean up. It would have to be a lot bigger inside and be a lot heavier duty. Almost like the very first "Hoffman crew" gold digger trommel that they made. Dead simple, heavy duty, mobile etc. Would be fun to watch too, so there's that 😉👍 ha ha

[@ondrejones8942]

You got me so close several times but you never grabbed a handful of finished product lol

[@mostlyinterested1016]

Now that's big league.

[@bobbentley8908]

Good job screening

[@Manoffire260]

All that equipment looked brand new…

[@billkenosky3825]

Is this your set up?I have not seen you doing this before .

[@henkweurding3339]

What are we looking at... Are you interested in one of those machines? Is it like a try out? Since good top soil is scares where you live.

[@Mapantz1]

Liking the 4K at 60FPS a lot!

[@blainethompson6583]

I weld and repair that brand of rock crushers allll the time for a few of my customers. Looks much less violent then the crushers.

[@peteschram9524]

Really like the at that it’s self propelled nice unit

He's rented a few CAT long Reach Ex's in the past for pond dredging.

[@t1259sw]

Wonder what that beast weights in at?

[@paperdirtoil]

You look good in the color yellow machine, isn't it nice to operate

[@kerrysullivan6294]

How does thise screens and drums tell the difference in topsoil and subsoils?😮

[@dennis2376]

Mesh screen size? 🤔

[@davidqueen4719]

Screens out rocks and roots from the topsoil that was stripped from the land being developed. Not separating top soil from clay-ish under soil unless clay is clumpy.

[@SLCFarms]

No guts no glory. Lol. It’s all in the ground you just have to dig it out Chris. Trammel needs more water for the sluice box

[@leolarocque-h4e]

Like the video on screening topsoil .

[@tomthompson489]

Nice processor you need one of those Chris you can do it

[@timothyfolts3102]

you need to talk jeff into buying a small screener and he could make his own top soil !!! ( hahahahah)

[@ogreatmaster8334]

Should be ' Need to talk to jeff into buying LetsDig a screener, and a bigger haul truck, and ..... '

[@kenore4003]

I bet that that "soil" on Geoff's home place wouldn't have more than 1 pound of dirt per ton of input.

[@hankzoerb317]

Geoff would be able to sell rock...lol

[@bruces2665]

That was pretty cool !! Would be nice if ya had one of those in your fleet Chris, the way your always needing extra top soil on all the different jobs !! Great as always Man, Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !!
