Great to see you back in the saddle again Lou, cranking out innovative working machines.

Perhaps reverse the sprockets on the two conveyers for greater speed & capacity... gotta get that tonnage per hour up.

Joe things seemed to be sorting at a consistant speed and after a bit of power supply trouble shooting the machine ran the pretty much nostop full 4 hours on the sunday..I still have some mods and tweeking with the front conveyor ..Rocks would occasionlly jam between the drum and front conveyor on a few of the screws i had on the inside of the drum holding the flange on the outside ..i wil file those off ...there was also material falling off the sides of the front of the conveyor as it entered the trommel ..Some of this would get in between the belt so im going to have to seal that part up and carry on with the shute so everthing falls of the end ..If you see in the vid there is some rolling around the front roller on occasion ..and tighten up the belt just minor stuff

Lou,
I dont recognize the blue truck in your photos. I am curious about the third axle. Is it a jeep with a lift axle??? I have never seen a truck like that. can you give some more info, or point me to a build thread, or even a video of it.

Thanks
