Finally! Someone who understands that making a video about a shaker knows that you need to show clearly how it works. Thanks.

GREAT JOB !! I just recently built one , but it has no shaker. Now I see the simplicity of it. Such a simple machine, but vital when your in the dirt business! Thanks again for sharing!!

Build the screen deck. Set it on springs. Take a rear truck axle with rims on it (no tires). take 3 or 4 inch diameter pipe and cut it in half, making 1.5 inch or 2 inch half circles. Weld those to the rims that are still mounted to the axle and differential. Weld 6, 7, 8, or 10 of them to the rim so when it spins they would bounce a ball up and down if you could keep it on top of the rim. Mount 2 rims with tires on them to the shaker deck, both on axles. Line them up so they're touching the rims on the truck axle with. Sooo, when you hookup the differential to a motor, the motor spins the differential yolk, which spins the bare rims, which spin the tires mounted to the screen deck. There you have a deck that vibrates when those rims spin and every time the half circles hit the tires on the deck, the screen bounces. There's no belt to break, no counterweight, no "special bearings" to replace when they go bad, and heavy duty bearings made for trucks and trailors.

this is a great looking sifter and you did a great job exsplaining this thing . i'm looking for the next video. thank you for showing!

I think the tensioner pulley needs to be on the on the other (relaxed) side of the engine pulley.

thanks-u have made my day. wanting to build of these for a yr now. the time has come-and i was between a small grizzly or one like u have down. very simple design. was gonna aask u the pitch of screen but u also talked about that. am going to ur channel to see if u have posted any more videos of it. thanks again.

Nice job! I think you may need to add couple of angle supports under the screen. Looks like the screen is spanning a fair distance and will fail over time due to soil weight.

Good job. Why the wheels at the front? Would a hinge/pivot do the same job?

Nice build, one mistake. you needed to put a cover over the counter weights. otherwise it will throw dirt back at you and all over the place as it is hit by the falling dirt. quick fix and you'll have a nice and safe machine.

Looks very good, waiting to see a video of in in the gravel. Thank you

Very well made man thank you for the idea

RENT That looks absolutely awesome!!!! Great job!!!! I'm sure it's a long shot, ever thought about renting that thing out? What state are you using it in now? I heard you say Ohio built with plans for Florida?

If you put both counter weight to the same direction it will shake more

That is a wonderful look, I’m wondering if you could Mae it where it had 3 racks, top rack everything falls through except 3in rocks and larger. 2nd level would shed the next desired, 1 inch and large rocks, . 3rd rack would allow everything left except 1/2 inch rocks. Also it’s to steep. 15% max.... give material time to shed as much as possible.... you can also have 3 different sautés. 3 inch and larger straight out. 2nd Shute to the left. And lower level to the right.. separating the material beautiful... Everything else falls to the center... .. My only other concern is the belt rattling so much, the tension is to flimsy, just my opinion...

it would be great to show this in action too you know

Are the steel castors transferring vibration?. I thought the idea was that they were to be rubber?

Where did you get the counter weights and bearings?

This is excellent. Where can I buy one? :)

Best!

Where did you find the large pulleys

Dove si può acquistare

Good job

Counterweights will destroy your bearings in no time ...

Most dangerous thing ever hahah XD

How'd this work out?

Belt snapping in 3, 2, 1...
