I've been slowly working towards building a trommel for the last few years, every so slowly acquiring bits and pieces to put it together.
I'm now almost collected the last bits I Need to start assembly.
It'll be done on the cheap with most parts scrounged from scraps and other odd parts at work.
Simple idea of it'll be powered by a large 12v windscreen wiper motor off a Kenworth and the water will be pumped with one of those huge capacity bilge pumps so the operation of it stays quiet, hopefully the flow will be enough through the spray bars, as the area I want to use it first will be previously processed material that I've panned flakes from before. and once I get into more virgin dirt will look at upgrading to a petrol pump for higher flow.
I've got solar panels ready to recharge the battery while I'm using it for the pump/motor.
I'll add pictures once I start to build it in the coming weeks.
