8 minutes that changed everything: from dirt to demand with MB-HDS207
Jason McDonald, owner of Brandon Plant & Tool Hire, has been in the game since 2008. Starting out with a single digger and dumper, he gradually built up his fleet and today runs over 150 machines—ranging from 1-tonne diggers to 13-tonne excavators. Alongside plant hire, his team supplies bark mulch, building materials, and of course, screened topsoil.
Until recently, getting that topsoil bagged and ready to sell was a serious hassle.
Before getting his hands on the MB-HDS207 screening bucket, he knew the struggle of processing topsoil the traditional way—slow, messy, and far from profitable.
“We had kind of a screener made up with a vibrating deck on it, you know. It was very slow, it didn't do the job properly.” Said Jason
With the MB-HDS207 mounted on a SANY excavator, Jason changed that in a matter of minutes.

HOW ONE IRISH CONTRACTOR BAGS 30 TONNES A DAY WITH JUST ONE MACHINE
Before MB Crusher: Slow, Messy, and Manual
“We had a screener made up with a vibrating deck on a 45° angle. We’d shovel on the soil, dig out the screened stuff, and try to load the bags. It was slow, it wasn’t clean, and it wasn’t efficient.”
For years, Jason screened topsoil the hard way—with a homemade vibrating deck, a small digger, and a lot of hands-on work.
After MB Crusher: Clean Soil, Clean Process, One-Man Job
What once took a full day with manual labour is now done in under 10 minutes per bag, screened straight into sacks and ready for sale. No extra hands needed—just one operator and one machine.
Ready to change the way your operate?
Today, Jason loads, screens, and bags topsoil using just one machine: the MB-HDS207 shaft screener mounted on a SANY excavator. The soil goes straight into one-ton bags, stones go into a dumper, and the final product goes into storage—dry and ready for sale.
“It takes us around 8 to 10 minutes to do a tonne bag. One man does the lot. No pulling or dragging anymore.”
Jason did his research, watched the videos, and chose the MB-HDS207. Unlike traditional shaft screeners, the HDS bucket uses durable and interchangeable steel rotors that separate stones and debris from soil directly on site—and it attaches directly to his existing excavator.
“We never looked back. With this bucket, the soil goes straight into the tonne bag. Stones go into the dumper beside us. No contamination, no mess.”
The Difference? Clear as the Soil Itself
By switching to the HDS207, Brandon Plant not only reduced labour costs—they increased output and attracted new customers. Jason filmed the process, posted it on TikTok and DoneDeal, and the phone “just lit up.”
“It’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made..”
The Result? Faster Work, Higher Quality, and Real Demand
