Maintenance Free Stainless Steel Wagon
"It completely unloads itself and is maintenance-free," says James Chuey, North Lima, Ohio, about the gravity flow fertilizer wagon he built out of stainless steel.With the help of a local manufacturer, he completely changed the specifications and dimensions of conventional gravity boxes, making the sides steeper. And because the metal never corrodes, box sides stay smooth. He fitted a plastic &in. by 12-ft. Unverferth McCurdy nylon bristled auger (with stainless shaft) to wagon so he can fill planter boxes with-out handling any material.
It cost about $5,000 to build the 7-ton capacity box using both new and salvaged stainless steel. He plans to take orders to build them on a custom basis.
