Thats one that floats also have some friends who set one up that lays inside the dredge frame with a floatation bed, they ran it last week successfully just needs slight motification on the water supply lines in the floatation part
 

Looking good Vini. About the time you get the fluid bed ironed out, the Yosimite Toad will shut all of down:BangHead:
 

No fluid bed in that YET but the guys are figuring it out and yeah the toads will be the death of us humans LOL
I'm gonna be talking with you soon about something, dont want to say yet until we know whats we're looking at, might be a lot of ground...
 

Thats not a big river down there just a small creek thats why i'm thinking portable but there are 50 foot banks to get down to the creek maybe i'll leave everything on dredge and go with suction nozzle instead of jet system, and we can just use high banker or suction nozzle in areas dredge wont fit, or both :)P
 

Now you got me all excited.:hello2:

Boy's, that sounds like a true adventure! Lot's of excitement, lot's of possibilities just think it out well as well as safety lines to help manage getting 'stuff' down. Best of success.....................63bkpkr
 

Well while i have this thread going lemme post some pics of an old USFS camp, very old matter of fact, this is whats left behind, this is what they call management i guess.

Do as I say, not as I do, perfect slogan for any govenment agency

Fist fits in opening so i know material coming thru 4" will fall out but Im gonna open it a bit more since you always get jams with several rocks

It might be just a few inches to steap I may cut the back down and put less angle on it but that would work since the water and material will be like soup the smaller materials gonna have time to fall thru but i'm a little uncomfortable with that angle and i am no engineer or fabricator its rough :)
 

Considering the amount that dredge will throw out, you might want to try it out like that

Im gonna square off the opening and then cut one more slot up top below the one thats there incase I need to bring down that grizzly a little im also gonna bring some 1/8 screen to go over the grizzly and see if I can get smaller material I don't think it will clog up with that angle but might with a lesser one so som experimenting will need to be done for sure , now I have to figure the cart for the motor and jet tube setup gonna hit harbor frieghts on 99 to see if they have that one cart I wanted with the bike wheels or just get that wheel barrow with the big handles.

You going up this weekend to look around?
 

hope you do well up there and guys have a blast, we'll get to the claims soon im putting everything together and sending off paperwork by monday.

Read the CDFW suction dredge site for the June 7 update

Closes sucking out of a river with anything.

Wake up its a catastrophe for all motors.
 

Changes the definition of a dredge to any motor sucking water. URGENT
