AK pilot I live over By Big Lake was wondering if you still have your soil screener. Going to build one this winter and would like to take a look at yours if possible.

Very impressive AK. please give us a report after you have given it a good workout. I'm wondering 2 things, what is the measurement from the cyl pin to the "hinge" pin, and does that provide enough leverage or squeeze to hold a full "bite" of multiple stems? And while you're at it, do you like the dangling chain mount v/s a more ridgid 2 axis conventional mount?
Thanks for posting, and I'm probably going to "steal" you design (if I may) :thumbsup:
PS, does Sara Palin live in you're town and does she look as good in prerson?:laughing:

The Hinge pins are 7/8" cylinder pins are 1". The chains are "cheap & easy" and seem to work real well there short enough to only allow just over 180 degree rotation yet they rotate very easily for the first 90 degrees.
PS Sarah and Tod live South of me by about 60 miles. I knew her in high school she has Always looked good!
