Perhaps the best of the simple cement mixer -> soil sifter implementation that I have seen. -Re-purposes existing cement mixer -Cement mixer is not broken, shifter part can be removed -Offloads the cement mixer bearings with those wheels at the outer end of shifter "tube" I should try this for myself.
Yes still sifting soil with this cement mixer 26inch bicycle rim tube I made, still works very well! Because it is slightly tilted down to the wheel barrow, the glass, roots, junk, falls into the wheel barrow and can be thrown out in a garbage bag.
The design certainly solves the problem with power source and being able to turn the machine, but I have to wonder if the juice is worth the squeeze. Seems to me it would be more cost effective to dig a hole and pull-out clear dirt and dump the contaminated stuff in it and cover with clean dirt.
I noticed that where the other soil tromels failed was where the hardware cloth was not secured, and moving around. So decided to bolt it up. Yes tons of stainless steel 5mm bolts, stainless washers, stainless steel fender washers and stainless nyloc nuts. Also used silicone caulk to secure hardware cloth to the rims.

Good caster plan. Great job!
I wish I knew how to do this. I need one of these so badly. Great job.
This took days to make and fabricate. But it was worth it.
I like your design a lot, seems to work well! Thanks for sharing

Awesome, awesome, awesome.
Just think you have done a tremendous job with this.
Are the lateral pieces made from metal or wood?
Metal 1" by 1/2" tubing from cheapo bed frame.
