Has anybody used the cascade highbanker by kicking donkey mining supplies?

Have not actually seen any footage of it in action, but it looks like it could be a useful piece of equiptment. Plus it's very affordable. $350 and comes with 1200 gph pump. I was going to take it to Arizona. One of the claims I went to out there was Clayish material that was moist so I didn't bother running it thru dry washer. I just want to be prepared this time. What are your thoughts

I have not seen it run but Bill Southern at Nugget Shooter's in Morristown, AZ is selling them. I questioned the pump size but was assured it was sufficient for the machine. I might try one if I didn't have use of a reverse helix trommel.

If you are worried about the pump size just stop by Harbor freight and add for a 1000gph 12v pump.
They only cost $20 dollars and I have BEAT the hell out of mine and it keeps going. :)

I like the looks of it, seems to be very high quality.

Another idea too, Powerwheels 12v batteries would be a great backup, they are 9lbs and are rated for 9.3 amp hours.
Then while your working just pop the other battery on the ol' 45w Solar charger that harbor freight sells too.

Just bought a Honda 2000 watt generator. It's light and quiet! 13.3 amps is it only draw back. Strong enough to run a chipping hammer and most pumps . For my situation i think itll be perfect. Will have a 2.5" dredge here shortly, would love a bigger one, but I think it'll be fine. I'm still a little jealous about not having a reverse helix trommel though... Thanks for the imput! No rock crusher, so it would have taken forever to crush. Saved me some time and probably blisters!!!

Nice score, those things are awesome to have because of how quiet they are.
My Briggs 5hp and Honda GC190 6hp are super loud, I need to figure out a way to quiet them down a bit.
