Just out of curiosity, how many pounds of worms did you buy? Unless it was enough to stock a farm, going to all the trouble to build a motorized harvester may be more trouble than it's worth. For a small operation, a medimum sized frame with a screen on the bottom & a wheelbarrow may be more in line.
I have 20+ pounds and built a small drum screener to screen both my vermicompost and my 4 compost piles. But my small screening frame works just as well for small loads.
Best of luck with your worms.
Thanks WistarWorms....
I have 2-lbs. now + 3 more lbs Monday shipping. And as soon as I get them setteled in to the herd, I'am going to get 5-lbs.more in about 2 weeks.
I farm 2.5 acres mostly Purplehull Peas and Sweet Corn
Last year I picked 135 bushels of peas . That's a lot of hulls, for compost.
My thinking was to try and save time on harvesting , speed up the process time.
Thank you for the help.
 I didn't want to sling the guts out of the worms when I turned on the harvester...
