Ahhh well it was worth a try anyway.

But isnt that why they funnel down to a quarter of the feed size to pressurise the flow? Ive just a little 2.5 100lpm. Works fine with 8inch sluice. But just dont think it will be enough to run 12 inch. I have a 6.5hp pump capable of running the 12 and 20 inch. Its just heavy/awkward to get to...

Had the day off, so what better to do than take the trommel out for a play!!

Yeah nice one mate, I'm not sure what LPM it runs, but I have a 5hp water pump I just carry down the track and dump when I'm ready to run. But it will soon have its own little home on the trailer. I'm just in the process of making all the pack racks. I offset the trommel to one side so I have...
