Convert an old keenan into beet washer?

Has anyone ever seen or heard of some one who has this done. Seems lik a pretty straight forward and cheap way for washing alot of beet in one go. It would have to hold the water while washing and also have a door underneath to let dirt out when required;)

is it just for washing you want it? simple beet grid along the floor like in the current models would do the trick. When washing beet the most important thing is a large supply of water, best something like a 5000ltr overhead tank you drive under with a submersible pump circulating the water back up out of a receptor tank

A neighbour near me has converted an old concrete lorry for this job. Has a large tank collecting rainwater, coz it would take forever to fill with a pipe. Haven't seen it working, but he swears by it. His biggest problem is getting rid of the water, it uses an awful lot.
