    Works great easy design. I see the dirt is kinda wet it's sticking in the bucket. The results would have been even better if the moisture content was lower. Very nice!! Tarp your piles will help.

    Is it just me or would it not be more effective tipping onto the screen from the other side? Looks like you could run the spill pile again

    • @JoshHovis
      @JoshHovis  7 месяцев назад +4

      I often do run the spill pile multiple times. There’s a lot of factors though like how damp the soil is that I run. I personally don’t want the run the dirt from the other side because I want the material to be screening away from my machine. Thanks

      Thanks! Definitely worth building one. I have put a lot of dirt through mine. It's nice to have screened dirt/soil for the projects I have. The tailings come in handy for me also for fill. Thanks again!

    Hi Josh,
    I like you system and have watched a few. It seem like a steep angle but from your demonstration it works very well. What angle would you say you built it? Good job.

    • @JoshHovis
      @JoshHovis  2 года назад

      I figure it is close to 45 degrees. Thank you. It has worked very well for me.

  • @BeyondBiochar
    @BeyondBiochar 4 года назад +2

    so it appears to work pretty good, BUT, you have many flat open acres, how long are you going to continually put your finished product RIGHT IN YOUR WAY of clearing the tailings out from the screener efficeintly ???

    • @JoshHovis
      @JoshHovis  4 года назад

      Thanks for watching. In this video I was just trying out the screener for the first time and I didn't plan on running that much material. I have since moved the screen to a more efficient location. And that is also part of the idea, the screener can easily be moved. Here, I was trying to keep the screened dirt and tailing on the gravel areas that I had just to make clean up more efficient also, but as you saw it got a little congested. Thanks for the comment.

    hi can you tell me what gauge wire fencing you used? Thank's i subscribed

    • @JoshHovis
      @JoshHovis  3 года назад +2

      I used 3 layers of "Red Brand" 2"x4" fencing that I believe was around 12 gauge. I put down 3 layers offsetting each time so that my holes were overlapping, making the screen smaller. It has held up well. I have had to do a little maintenance but I sure have run alot of material through. At the time I built this, materials were not as expensive as they are now. Thanks for watching and subscribing!

    Do you have any plans that you have put together and material lists.

    • @JoshHovis
      @JoshHovis  2 года назад +1

      I don't have any plans. But as far as materials I used 13 pressure treated 2 x 6's, three layers of heaving fencing wire that I put on the deck offsetting the holes in the fence for the screen, and fencing staples to attach it, along with screws to build it. I also used a couple of treated decking boards to around the bottom as a skirting. Of course this was before lumber prices were so high. It works pretty well but I do have to do maintenance on the screen from time to time.

    Nice video. If my count is correct you used 13 2x6. I noticed it looks like you have multiple layers of 1/2" screen offset from each other. Is that correct? If so why did you do that and do you feel it is necessary. I have watched a lot of videos and this is the one I am going to copy. I was going to use 2x4 but if you feel the 2x6 is a better a choice I am not opposed to it. What did you use to attach your screen? Screws with washers? Thanks!

    • @JoshHovis
      @JoshHovis  4 года назад +6

      I used a heavy gauge fencing wire that had 1" x 2" holes. The roll of fencing wire I bought was 6' × 50' so it would go right on my deck without cutting the height, only had to cut the length. I offset the wire like you said because I figured it would strengthen it as well as give me a finer screen, and better finished product. I used a fencing staple to attach it to the deck. I am sure screws with washers would work as well. I have been happy with it, and it works well for my needs. I decided to use 2x6s but 2x4s I'm sure would be fine...I just wanted it to be sturdy for both using it but also moving or transporting it to different places on my property. I believe you have the count of 2x6s correct. I used pressure treated and at that time lumber wasn't as high in price as it is now. Thanks for watching. Hopefully I answered you questions. If not let me know. Good luck!

    How is it still holding up

    • @JoshHovis
      @JoshHovis  4 года назад +2

      Its holding up well. The fencing I used for the screen is getting a little bent up. Might eventually change it out to a heavier screen material. But all in all I cant complain. It gets the job done, was relatively inexpensive and I've put a lot of material through it. Thanks for watching

    • @JoshHovis
      @JoshHovis  4 года назад

      I used welded fencing wire. I laid three layers down off setting each layer so the spaces would be tighter and a finer screen. It has held up pretty well I figured if I have to replace it after a while I can either use something else or I have enough left on the roll I bought I can replace it all again with what I have. But so far so good. Works pretty well.

      Yes it is a steep angle. I've experimented with it by shimming up the back and front changing the angle. Surprisingly, the angle that i made it seems to be about right for the material I am putting through it.

    Hey I just found your channel yesterday researching the kk trailer you have. Could you do a pros and cons and complete overview and whatnot on it? And send me the plans to that screener. I have a kioti ck2610
    Thanks. Great content

    • @JoshHovis
      @JoshHovis  4 года назад

      Thanks for the suggestions. I will say I have no complaints with the dump trailer. It has performed very well and I've hauled a lot of different types of material in it. I do have a video on some improvements I made to the trailer in certain areas that I felt the it was lacking for my own personal use. I guess my only complaint might be that it could probably be a tad larger. But then again it is great for getting in tight spots the way it is. As far as plans for the screener, I really just winged it based on pictures I'd seen of others. I did make the screen deck 4' x 8' and I have mine at a 45 degree angle. Make sure you leave room on the low edge for your rubble and tailings. Anyway hope this helps. Thanks for the comment!

      I only saw the video of you welding the add ins for tailgating
      What else or can you link the other video?

    • @JoshHovis
      @JoshHovis  4 года назад +2

      Yes the hooks for tailgating. And also carabiners to allow easy change the position of the chains on the gate, which for me also has to do with tailgating. I also had to add a bungee to keep by jack control from dragging. But all in all if you have tasks that trailer can help with and you have the money to spend on it I think it's well worth it. I use mine all the time and it works great. The hand jack works great if you don't have hydraulic remotes. I have put some heavy loads on mine and have never had any trouble dumping. The cylinder is sized very well to the trailer's size.
