Here's one I made. 55 gallon drums and salvaged parts. It actually has a gear reducer from a f22 Vulcan gun. I made it two speeds with 3 baffles. The door is from a second drum and cut a piece to fit inside and latched it. Hardwood sawdust works awesome!

Smurf,
If you son't mind can you give the diameters of the pulleys on your rig as well as drum diameter? Also estimated rpm if it is not to much to ask?

I converted an old dryer into a fur tumbler. Fist thing I did was open the back of the dryer and cut all the wires except the ones that turn the drum. Those two wires I attached to the end of an old drop cord so it will run off 110V. instead of 220V. I then duct taped the holes on inside of the drum closed. It's then ready to tumble furs...  I toss in some corncob horse bedding like this... www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/best-cob-premium-horse-bedding2-4 cups is what I use and add more as it needs it....  Here is a coon that was wet and muddy when I skinned it. I then hung it to dry overnight...  Up close...  Same coon after tumbling for about 8-10 min (you can put 5-6 coons in there at a time) ...  Closer up...  I know guys complain the dryers don't do as a good of a job as the big drums, and that you need expensive media in it, but this works good enough for me. ~ADC~ |

Built mine and finished it this summer - 4ftDia. and 4ft. across chain and belt drive with a 1HP driving the gear reducer .. didn't know about the corncob bedding what I got was wood pellets and a couple boxes of borax ,, was planning on just doing the cats and yotes so haven't fired it up yet .. you bet I will say some prayers first when I throw the fur in--LMAO-D-
