Rocks, gravel, sand, and soil are all useful but not when they are combined, then it's just dirt. That is why you need a rock screen to separate the different aggregates found in your dirt. Think of it as a portable dirt screener.

There are two key topics to know when using your rock screen. How to move it and how to screen with it.  How do I move a Bear Iron Works grizzly rock screen? Using the cub rock screen with a skid steer, you can pick up the grizzly rock screen with your bucket from the middle cross rail on the inside of the grizzly rock screen. Typically, you will want to use the top of your bucket to grab this cross rail, slowly curl your bucket outwards until your bucket cutting edge meets the rock screen or front edge. From here you should be able to lift the grizzly and move it to where you need.  You should place your grizzly rock screen near your source material, so you can make efficient cycles. You will also want to have access to both the front and back of the screen, so you can clear out the larger debris and scoop your screened soil, respectively.  How do I screen rocks with a grizzly rock screen? Once you have positioned your rock screen in an optimal location, dig a bucket full of your source material. It is recommended to approach the grizzly from the back (tall side) when you dump your material. This will prevent rocks from rolling into your machine. When you are behind the grizzly, raise your bucket to just above the top of the grizzly. Position the cutting edge of your bucket so when you start to slowly dump your material, it will fall onto the rails of the grizzly rock screen and the material will run down the screen. The small, desired material will fall through the screen, where you can access it from the back side. The large material will run to the front of the grizzly. Repeat your cycle, until you have enough screened soil for a bucket full. You can then take your screened material to wherever you may need.    Separate rocks and other debris from soil with a grizzly rock screen Using a grizzly rock screen as a rock separator is the most common use, but a grizzly screen can screen much more. If you have material that is filled with trash, litter, or any other unwanted debris, you can use a grizzly screen to separate that debris from your soil. So it's a soil cleaner? Yes!
