Worked with/on one for many years. The shaker head is shook by a simple motor on an shaft with a precise imbalance. If it won't spin backwards, your problem is in the spool that directs flow to that shaft motor. Why you wanna spin it backwards?

I can see that. My outfit was in the business of road materials. The only topsoil they ever used was as a binder for the screened cinders used for finish grade. Usually silt from the bottom of old stock tanks (ponds) around here. It ran thru the screen, but was chased with a bunch of rock at a 1:4 ratio, ish...

we run fines from mulch in with the topsoil at about 4:1 1 scoop of fines to 4 scoops of topsoil it fluffs the topsoil up and the landscaping guys love it
