[QUOTE="gcause, post: 134977, member: 1497"] Yes I had the same idea Cracka, started a build but had to abandon it when I moved house a year ago. You should be able to add paddles to one end and divert some of the water from the pump to it so the water rotates the trommel. It would be fairly light even with the rocks going through it so it shouldn't take much water pressure to power it. Run the spray bar directly through the centre of it so you can wash the bigger rocks to get the clay off before they run out the other end. Cheers, Grant [/QUOTE]
