2000 Finlay 790

2000 Finlay 790 — engine rebuilt in 2019 with only 2,000 total hours. That rebuild makes a big difference on a machine in this class, giving you production capacity with updated engine life.

Who This Machine Is For

• Compost producers — large drum and screening area handle steady, high-volume organic material
• Topsoil and mulch yards — built for consistent production and multiple product sizes
• Contractors with larger jobs — full-size trommel for higher throughput applications
• Recycling operations — reliable for continuous screening of mixed and organic materials

What It Screens

• Topsoil — removes rocks and debris for resale-ready material
• Compost — separates finished compost from oversized material
• Mulch — produces consistent sizing for landscaping use
• Light C&D fines — handles smaller mixed debris and loose material

This is not built for heavy rock or large aggregate processing. It is designed for organic material and general screening applications.

Specs in Plain Language

2,000 hours on a 2000 machine — that averages to about 80 hours per year, which is low usage, especially with the engine rebuilt in 2019. It runs on a Deutz engine, known for durability and fuel efficiency in screening equipment.

At 78'-8" long in working position, this is a large production trommel designed to handle serious volume. The size gives you more screening area, which helps increase throughput depending on material type. Transport dimensions of 49'-6" long and 8'-6" wide make it manageable to move between job sites with proper planning.

This unit comes with multiple screen sizes — 3/8" (installed), plus additional 1/2" and 1" screens — giving you flexibility to change product sizing. The inclusion of a new fines belt adds value and reduces immediate maintenance needs.
