When we moved here we 'inherited' a big spoil heap that was dumped in
the middle of an otherwise attractive orchard. It's perhaps 50 foot by
20 foot by 5 foot tall - obviously dumper truck loads tipped in
piles - a mixture of good soil and hardcore. It looks like a neolithic
long barrow! So it needs sieving, the hard core used as useful
material and the soil distributed into low bits.

So I needed a big sieve to fit the JCB, with holes that just stop
bricks falling through. Pictures here:

Get a proper riddle bucket.It`s a circular sieve with a mouth like a
bucket.It is rotated by a hydraulic motor that on most machines is
powered by the hammer lines.The cheapest available one to buy at the
moment is from a guy in Ireland.I`ve forgotten his name as it was
yesterday I last heard it. :-)
I have a customer who is an agent for a New Zealand make but I believe
he`s very expensive.
These ones in the picture look nothing like the real thing.
