Hi,

Here's a motorized compost trommel sifter I built:

It works great, but after loading two yards through it with a shovel,
I looked at my tractor with a FEL, and thought that there must be an

You might try looking at "chopper wagons". They use a manure
style chain/bar conveyor in the main bed and a
smaller/narrower version right in front. The front part,
maybe even just the drop-chute might work for you. If
nothing else maybe give you some ideas. Here is a picture or
two of chopper wagons:
