Got my Gold Grabber Dredge today!!

[Deleted]

I was waiting patiently... Ya right, I didn't think it was gonna come til a big truck stopped at my curb..



Was on a pallet, so me and the driver carried it half way up the drive way.. I pulled it with a rope on the back of the truck to my assembly point..





Got the plastic off time to get it all out and to assemble it..













Starting to put it together..

I am tired.. I guess I will assemble it completely tomorrow... I built a whole propane grill today, and part of my dredge lol..

Damn, big foot valve. Looks good. Put that thing together.

Nice! Hope you get the gold.

I got tired of waiting for it so I just stayed off until this morning.
Some folks hag problems last year with the pulley's coming loose on their compressors. Be sure it's locked on tight.

Looking forward to your first cleanup.

Will be interesting to see it in person. James, does the motor have quick release mounting hardware?

I contacted Allen about getting my 3" floating for upcoming year. He only sales the floats and cones for 4" only, no frame or sluice separately. He did quote me 2500.00 shipped to Concord, NC for 4" minus power plant. Don't know if that includes the air or not.

I built that 3" with stand for the very small creeks I could get into at one time. Now with you all, the creeks are getting to river size and that requires floatation. Plus side of floatation is a fellow could easily move around instead of moving a stationary setup.

Dude, why ya tryin to kill yourself with your gear? Just buy a complete 4. I am pretty sure you won't regret it. You can buy quick release, but I am going to bolt it on. Just drag the dredge down into the creeks. That's what they are made for. 2500 + 500 for shipping is 3k. 3700 with shipping = complete new dredge. New engine, with air, new everything. Just trying to stop ya from having heart ache on the rivers bro.

But you can do it your way. I will just dredge by you and mine your tailing pile

I just spent 4 grand on a large format printer to get it up and running for my business. I'm not rich like you, James.

The 4" quote was 2500.00 shipped minus powerplant.

Hi Art,

The most inexpensive way to go is purchase the 4 in. without power plant and air….the rest would handle your parts.( power unit )

$2100.00.

Freight would be $413.00.

Thanks

Alan
