S&M construction open for bizz nizz!

Get a 15" car tire tube, buy a new one to cut up if need be, the rubber is thinner & will stretch for a 58" conveyer. 2' rise on 58" travel is not that steep. Screening a bucket load at a time, there will never be that much weight on the belt at any given time, so it won't take that much power to drive. Don't over think it.

Thanks Joe. Your right about over thinking it. That's the problem when backyard is buried in snow and all I'm doing is" thinking about how it's going to work and fit " I've got plenty of other work that needs to be done. Might need to put this project on the shelf till spring.
