Subject: Gravity flow wagon as a seed tender?


Central Texas		Anyone use a gravity flow wagon as a seed tender to shuttle CORN seed around?

I am already thinking that it would need to be poly cupped or a brush auger, is one of these superior to the other?

TIA

Central Mo

I use an M&W Wagon with two compartments and a poly auger.  Hyd driven auger.

I've used a couple of other seed tenders and I like mine.  Mainly the hyd driven auger, and it's big enough to take seed for a whole day.

Edit:  I use if for corn and beans.

north west arkansas		I have never seen a tailgate auger on a wagon but it looks like it works fine. Why dont you use it for beans? It looks like everything is very well kept around there.

south central kansas		the tailgate works great. I wanted to have a auger and was looking at it one day it just kinda struck me how well it would work, so I tried it and it acually works better than I thought. I dont raise enough beans to buy bulk but if I did I would for sure use it.

north west arkansas		I have the very same auger and I have always had trouble with it bending some at the pivot point when you raise the truck bed up high. I have always thought that if you kep the auger straight it would work fine. Im thinking im gonna have to try iton a wagon.
