Since you are "Mr. Hydraulic" you could hook your 5hp motor to hydraulic vibrator! 
I was semi-joking about the "Mr. Hydrualic" remark, but, just had an idea.... |

I thought about something like that. But, I don't want to make it too large or too heavy. I want to be able to transport it on my 5'x8' trailer, it will hold 1600 lbs. I thought about making the screen on a hydraulic cylinder to have "power tilt."
I don't know how well a hydraulic motor will hold up to being a vibrator. If I use an old Briggs and Scrapiron engine, it won't need a vibrator.
