i really like the flywheel,but i decided to save my energy to shovel dirt in his big brother.i use a windshield wiper motor ,but it was to show so i had to go with the pully setup.it now does about 150 pumps per minute the rod on the side will bounce the hopper.,cant wait to get out to do some sampling for his big brother.it only weighs 40 pounds with a 15 pound batt.i may get a lighter batt later. the weather is getting better so get out there, brad and bailie

Really cool looking. Looks like something you would put together from a Popular Mechanics magazine
