QUOTE (swizz @ Jul 21 2017, 06:06 PM)  I looked at MSI... way too big for me. If you want to save money you could build that Heckler for ~$1200. Sure it's time and research intensive but if you don't have the money, time and research are your only currency :) I have looked at building a smaller gas version of that for ~$500 which would handle the clay just fine as fast as 2 people could shovel. All about time, money, and priorities I guess. The trommel is just rolled punch plate or expanded, welded. The trommel gear is just a junk yard transmission flex plate with the middle cut out and every other tooth removed then a custom chain made which is cheap. The rest is just frame, engine, and some PVC pipe. Heckler is a beautiful machine but if you don't have the money for it ( like me )... -------------------- James
