Awesome. I have a home made one with a wooden frame but wouldn't mind having one of those.
Got any gravel pits close by or know any contractors? You may be able to pick up some used screens you can put over it for different material sizes.
At the mine I work at for instance, we replace the screens when they get a couple small holes in them....but they'd still be good for what you need to do.

You can also use expanded metal mesh over that to get a smaller sized screen.

Nice find for the rock we deal with here in NE!

What about four wheels on each outside corner bolted into the bottom frame, even with 6-8" off the ground that won't matter and you can weld a hook or bolt on a receiver hitch on the back to move it?
