Great job bud! Looks awesome. I saw another guy used a weight lifting bar for the shaker bar. I was also wondering about using one of those weight bars that has the bend in it for going on the neck. It might be too aggressive though. Thanks for posting this. Cheers.
This is the best one I’ve seen on RU-vid also. How did you attack the shaft to the engine? Seems like a u joint would work well. I’m wondering how the vibration affects the engine.
I was also planning on using 1" cold rolled for the shaft, but was planning on pillow block bearings every 2 feet (5 total) to minimize shaft wobble. Do you think that might work? I saw some guy's video where he had one bearing on either end, with no intermediate support, and that shaft was flailing around like crazy!
Great design, thanks for the video! I have also been combing through RU-vid videos to pick out the best aspects of different machines. What reduction ratio did you run on the V-belt pulleys? That's one thing I cannot find a definitive answer on... how many cycles per second one of these should run for best performance. I also picked up some raised expanded metal like you have, whereas most other videos show woven wire, but I cannot find that around here.
What provisions did u make for dirt with larger rocks mixed in? Because ur screen looks as though it would get damaged with any large rocks falling onto ur screener.
Great job! I think its best i have seen so far, but still needs fine tuning. Need to cover the sides so you don't get a mess of different stuff in one pile.
Rotflmao!!! Thinking about patenting it!!! LOL!!! That was comedy gold… Almost made it worth watching… There is so much prior art out there that your patent would be worthless… It’s very mediocre on the design… It’s not like it sorts material by size with one pass… but it isn’t horrible…
