Split flow wagon chute WAGONS/TRAILERS Accessories 16-5-11 It's not easy to fill feed buckets from the wide chute of a gravity flow wagon with-out spilling feed. But 12-year-old. Brian Geier, Coldwater, Ohio, solved the problem by building a "double dandy" wagon chute that splits the flow.
Geier used 12-ga. steel to build a W-shaped steel insert that simply wedges inside the wagon's unloading chute. Two sliding steel gates are used to control the feed flow. The chute can be easily moved from wagon to wagon.
"When Dad buys new breeding stock he isolates them on another farm so we need temporary feed storage. Dad gave me the job of feeding the pigs, but the wagon's slide gate opener was too hard for me to reach and turn," says Geier.
