Just got mine a few weeks ago. Its an awesome machine. My dirt pile has large rocks that caused me some concern but the 78VF screen is very heavy duty and the large rocks slide right off. Even wet dirt like mine will screen nicely as long as the machine is set up properly.
I am interested in purchasing this machine. But Im not going to spend that kind of money without renting one first. Is there any one near pittsburgh PA that will rent me one for a week?
I have had my screener from them for less than one year and it kept shaking itself apart and breaking bolts off of the electric motor and the company refused to send New parts for free!
Yes it will separate the grass and weeds from your soil. SLG screeners have the ability to bring the deck slope up to 45 degrees for screening soils with grass, sod, and weeds. You will get more cross transfer when the deck is steep but the upside benifit is that an SLG screener is still working when others are waiting for better weather. Remember that the screen deck also can tilt back to 30 degrees when screen sand , rock and dry soils.
brad i am in montana u,s,a is there a dealer close to me and can you use the unit with in tandem with Conveyor , like to rent or lease before buying as we do with any tipe of unit to make sure it is in full what we need and the company we deal with is to who we like to work with
we use old farm grain Conveyors to move dirt and gravel they are cheep parts easy to come by and ready to buy and easy to move behind any pick up truck
I think the closest dealer to your would be in Spokane WA. Peter with SRS would be your contact person. His number is 509-994-5687. Unfortunately we do not rental units. There is also a dealer in Salt Lake UT. I think that they have rental units available.

What do you mean set up properly ?
I like mine but it didn't come with instructions on how to tilt it....
