It's been a long road on my trommel build. Easier sead than done. Looks cool I like the chain idea The hard part for me has been the motor an drive system. Finally coming together

Dude that's way cool. Nice ridged frame. I wish I had the means to make something quality like that. I've only got about 15 dollars invested in mine. Built with other peoples trash. Lots of wing nuts washers an bolts. As long as it gets the job done. Right!! Nice build it looks awesome.

 

[grazjsw]
