Hi tom2cat1,The motor must be running in order for the machine to process material. We are working on an option for those that prefer an electric motor and I will make sure to let you know when those are available. Let me know if you have any more questions or visit our website to learn more. Thanks for watching! Cherie
The machine in this video uses a Harbor Freight motor that comes with a 90 warranty. We have a Honda motor option that comes with a 3 year warranty if you are interested! Thanks :)
@GLDHUNTRS - We have a 110V and 12V electric motor option if you would prefer less noise. If you google "pro gold trommel goes electric" you'll find a link to more information. Thanks!
