I am going to rent this screener from a local landscape supplier. I am going to screen 500 yards or so of topsoil, I belive the finish screen is 1/2". I will feed it with my 12 ton excavator and clean and pile finish product with my skid steer. I am hoping to do this in a weekend, is it possible? also what is a fair daily rental rate for this machine? my loam is stockpiled and is fairly clean mostly small rocks and some roots and will be dry thanks for opinions yards per hour?
Production depends highly on moisture content. The looser drier material will yield more finished product. You will need 2 people to get that done in a weekend. Keep your spoils and run them once more in a few months when all the balls melt back together.
