That looks a lot like mine, even down to the steel wheels. I'm going to
have to put a hitch on it so I can drag it around with the ATV, but that's
no problem.


The 'hitch' on mine is a piece of 1/2" rebar, bent to a U & welded on
the front. Works on a ball or pintle hitch.

What RPM was suggested? Around 1500?


My motor is 1725. The end result is what matters, though. I
think you're shooting for 18-20 rpm's of the barrel.

My 1725 motor has a 1/2-2" pulley. That goes to a 19, that turns a
24. 25 years ago I would have done the math in my head-- I
wouldn't try it now with a calculator.
