looks like its slowing you down more than anything. Slumped over constantly pouring water over the material in the grizzly like its a highbanker just isnt sufficient to me. Why not just classify 1/4" and scoop the material and run it?

not tryin to talk down on ya, just sayin. Looked like you were messin with the same load of material for awhile there. Someone on here made a contraption where you could house a classifier inside it and just classify into the au trap. Just seems like it would be easier than the grizzly.

not me in the film. saw it somewhere else. hadn't seen this particular setup before. thought it was interesting, the equipment, that is. that's why i put it on product review.

I have actually thought about that. I just sold a new Angus Bucket Grizzly because I just don't have the time to build something like that.

yeah, the main problem with that on a bucket is you still gotta wash the rocks, like a highbanker, just dont see it being productive on an autrap and thats why. Youre making an autrap a 2 man operation when its easily a 1 man sluice but you could run 2 men classifying bucket after bucket with that one sluice though.

everybodys got one, opinions that is.

i was thinking more from the standpoint of breaking the parts down and figuring out how to use them more efficiently.

here is another approach i came up with for my own use with my au trap.

here's another home made grizzly that has possibilities.
it appears to me to have been designed to feed the classified material into a container or maybe a sluice. dropping onto the ground seems odd and adds to the work.

after taking another look at this, and seeing the back end of the truck next to it, i think maybe the guy is just showing us how well it works and not worrying about the proper setup over a bucket or sluice.
