You heard Beets say the owner has been wanting $1,000,000 for a long time until he finally lowered the price. You think it's possible the owner had the machine treated for the seasons to keep it from rusting and corroded so he could could sell it at the highest price possible.

[@akesha4138]

The screens on this trommel do not need to be replaced, it has a basic physics problem. Where tho hose came off underneath leave that as is, acts as a safety valve if too much pressure builds up. The problem in the in the 3 way junction where the rocks are getting stuck. The junction employs reducers that cause constriction. You need to do the opposite and employ expending joints and add a 4 ft section going straight down. If that section of pipe was clear plastic, even better. It needs a remove-able plug cap on the end. As the trommel operates the rocks will fall down the vertical pipe and it would have to be emptied every so often. Chances are even if it filled up the incoming rocks would simply keep going out the end.

Tony beets is basically a fusion between my moms younger brother brother (my uncle) and my moms dad (my grandpa) my grandpa is a man of sure will, focus, determination, and strength nothing phases him if you have a problem you don’t sit and whine cry and b*tch about it you fix it and get back to work. My uncles the same way as my grandpa but my uncle also likes to cus a lot if my uncle calls you a dumba*s once for doing something stupid and you don’t screw up for the rest of a project you and him are working on that’s a compliment, but if he calls you a dumba*s more than once your the genuine article, but it’s not meant to be mean it’s meant to say learn from your mistakes and F ups and don’t do them again but also get back to work and don’t be a lazy f*ck. My uncle is also a mechanic loves to work on cars engines tools whatever and he is not the person who if something breaks just go buy a new one but will instead work on it to make it work again he’ll even take things apart like the blades of a lawn mower and sharpen them by hand to make sure they cut the grass cleaner and put it back together to make sure it runs smoothly and efficiently as possible even if it’s old crap he’ll work on it saying if something ain’t broken and works just fine with a little maintenance every once in a while why replace it.
