The DeSite SLG 68V Topsoil and Rock Screener is the most compact screener we offer. It has been designed for:
Mini Skidsteers
Sub Compact tractors
Mini excavators
We have installed rubber skirts on each side of the 68V screen deck. The skirts are there to catch stray material falling from the bucket that might miss the deck. We have made the skirts of rubber to bend and flex in case hit by the bucket.
No sacrifices were made in strength and durability when building in the suspension system for the 68V. The SLG 68V comes with the same durable coil and leaf spring system put into our SLG 78VF screening machine.
Check out the photos below. See how much control the operator can have over the slope of the screen deck. A steeper deck angle makes material travel faster for better screening of wet materials. A flatter deck slope slows material flow and works best with gravels, sand, and dry soils.
The SLG68V comes with our Dual Eccentric (110 volt) 3600rpm Vibratory Pack, the same vibratory power built into our bigger SLG 78VF. The motor and eccentric system is sealed away from the elements and maintenance free. The 68V vibratory pack draws 4 to 5 amps and works off a 15 amp circuit or can be powered with a compact 3500 watt portable generator.
For moving the SLG 68V around onsite our Bucket Transport Lugs will save time and the need for having pallet forks onsite. The lugs slide directly into the fork pockets with a retention hole to lock them in place. Once installed you will have the ability to pick up the screener with your bucket and move the screener quickly. No hitch, no wheels, no wiring, and no digging.
Please allow up to 24 business hours for responses as we are in the height of our busy season. Duplicate emails, phone calls and texts are not required as reminders – we will do our best to get back to you as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience and for your interest in our products.
We offer a wide range of mesh that are quick and easily changed.The ability to install large and small high quality mesh makes DeSite SLG Screeners a time saver and money maker. We offer both square and elongated mesh pattern in a double lock crimp weave. Our double lock weave puts two crimps in each wire as they intersect, This creates a strong weave and a stronger, more stable mesh.
Our elongated pattern mesh is what we call a triple chute weave where a group of three wires intersect the main with wires. A space of four inches has full unobstructed opening before the next three wires intersect the mesh again. Our elongated pattern meshes are designed to handle higher moisture material when screening is more challenging. Hourly production are always considerably higher when elongated pattern mesh in in use.

Wood mulch is a light product that travels over the screen deck differently that a soil or aggregate product. It is recommended to run a bit bigger mesh. Often people will screen out the fines and mix it into the topsoil for slow release decomposition. It is a great way to recycle the wood fines.

Love my machine I’m in California it’s very portable I screen manure compost and topsoil since I’m in California, We always have carb checking to see if you have an updated motors so with this set up I have a Honda generator. It runs the vibrations, so Ino longer have to deal with carb, I can put it in my dump trailer move it to different jobs. I run the machine all by myself. Easy to set up and cheap to run. Love my machine.

BEST screener in the industry with the BEST support I’ve seen across all my equipment. Andy and Brad have been GREAT to work with and my equipment has been flawless. Everyone who see’s it is in awe at the build quality, the welds look like rolls of dimes, they’re gorgeous… You won’t regret buying ANY of Columbia’s products… I know I sure don’t!!!!
Mark Kowalczyk
Using my 108 almost everyday. Making 1 inch minus soil fill blended with aged compost and mushroom soil. Screen works awesome and the material it makes sells itself.
Chris Hawes
Got a 108 it’s a great machine.
Larry Pierce
Andy did a fantastic job selling this very easy and great communication unloaded it screen 6 yards worked great much faster and cleaner product than my other name brand screener.
Michael Paul
The Easter bunny dropped a big egg today for us !! This should definitely help the screening operation . Thank you for all the help Brad and Andy Columbia Equipment Sales.
Jennifer Bond
I’m so glad I ordered the riser with my 78, I wouldn’t own one without it.
Piney Grove Homestead and Mini Farm
Trying out our DeSite 56″ screener for the first time. Can’t wait to put this to work on our huge compost pile!
Derek Taylor
I have the desite 78 and can do 30 to 35 yards an hour with my 3 yard loader . I have done hundreds and hundreds of yards of topsoil in the last 3 years with zero problems with it . Great working screener for small operators in my opinion.
Bill Stone
The screener is a “no joke” piece of equipment. Too bad folks can’t see one in person to see the quality before they decide to get one. The pictures and videos don’t show how well built it is. Thanks for the great service. Looking forward to trying it out this afternoon.

I wasn’t expecting delivery until next week. Had fun today sifting a pile of mixed debris. Made some nice topsoil. Also screened some DG. Beautiful job. So pleased with this machine I can’t tell you how much. Hope to get some video soon.
Mike B
As with any equipment purchase, you always hope for the best. I have to say your screening machine worked better than I could have ever imagined. Its ease of operation was simply fantastic. The product it produced was actually better than we could have purchased from local suppliers. Continued success in 2016, Best regards.

I purchase a 78 inch screen last year from Woodbury Tractor, it has been one of the best pieces of equipment I have purchased, Thanks.
