YouTube video of the compost trommel in operation
This is a compost tumbler I made. The cylinder is made out of bicycle rims and hardware wire, 1/4 inch. It’s about 4 feet long. The machine is powered by a 1 horse power electric motor. The tumbler can handle large quantities of compost or dirt. The handles that protrude out from the machine can be take off by simply unscrewing them. I designed the tumbler to maneuver like a wheelbarrow. There’s a trailer jack in the front to adjust the angle of the machine.
