| Absolutely freakin NICE !!! You aint gonna use that and get it dirty now are ya ? ? ? lol.
I have a twin sister to that wagon, but she aint quite as pretty as that one. Same way use it as a seed wagon.
Your hose wrap looks awesome...LIKE
If that chrome handle and winch combination makes you struggle..I put my winch on the auger tube, then the cable runs up the auger to a snatch block, then up to the cross chain. I also use those quick links, nice for when taking off. Anyhow..with the winch on the auger, its easier to crank and push the auger towards the wagon and lay in the cradle, especially if the auger would be full. I think it keeps the auger from wanting to pull back to center when filling the outer row boxes too.
Chrome handle is COOL though ! ;-) That loom / hose wrap is just the ticket too....you get a atta boy on that.
If you trouble with beans wanting to spill over the front edge, I made a rubber wrap from some cheap bed mat, cut at about 4" to 6" , I think I drilled 3 holes in the sump close to the outer edge, then drilled holes in the rubber flap and zip tied them fast, I can cut them quick with a knife if I dont want it on there, but have never taken it off in the past 12 plus years. Then I have 2 hole drill in the rubber flap where it meets the angle iron of the door slide frame, and zip tie it to one of the angle iron holes.
On my planter I have a wireless electric solenoid valve, I use hydraulics from the planter diverted to this solenoid valve, then I have quick couplers and connect what ever wagon or my portable auger to that when filling, and then I keep that pendant in my hand as I am filling so I can turn the auger on and off from that.
When I jump from row to row, I just use a gloved hand and cover the hose hole, let it build up a tick, then quickly move over to next row. This way you can keep the auger constant and full.
The only time I shut off is when I have to move and fill the front rows ( Kinze twinline 15" ).
Another thing I did to the hopper sump, is cut a 3" diameter hole close to the bottom edge, then I have a solid 4" door that pivots on a bolt / locknut ( to adjust friction ) that I can use for clean out, or say you have a deal where you are running out of seed and only need just a little bit to finish and it aint worth the time to set up the auger, well I set a bucket under the trough, and flip that door open and shut to use a bucket.
My wagon was bought from a retired neighbor probably 30 years ago, thats when Dad and I rebuilt and repainted ours...Dad made 2 x8 side boards for up top, painted them white like the wheels and then I made a tarp for it. I think I figure I get 200 bushels really full for wheat, 180 ish for beans. My pins are getting a little worn, it wants to wander above 20mph.
You will REALLY like / LOVE that auger, beats the snot out of buckets, you will like your seed box extensions too.
I see you put a hook on to hang your pin, I had to bolt a chain to my pin and bolt near the hitch, for some reason my pins grew feet and walked away, I use my hook to hang my 5 gallon bucket.
I would say you got it goin on and will definitely be the envy of the neighborhood down there...LOOKS GREAT, takes a lot of time to get them like that too huh ?
