Combine Spout "Extender Kit"

Combine Spout "Extender Kit" COMBINES Accessories 21-4-39 Adding 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 ft. to the length of down spouts on combine unloading augers can pay off big by reducing grain loss, says Farmtec Industrial, Inc., Loreburn, Sask. The manufacturer of a simple new boltin-place down spout extender kit says the de-sign of each kit depends on make of combine, but each includes a bolt-on poly ex-tender down spout. "With headers getting bigger and unloading augers getting longer, it's getting trickier to unload. Our extender lowers the down spout and æcorrals' the grain at the same time so it drops straight down. Makes it easy to control direction of the grain so you can do a better job filling the truck. It also keeps light crops like milo and sunflowers from being blown away by the wind," says U.S. distributor Scott Waldie of Westward Products, Jamestown, N. Dak. The extender kit uses existing bolt holes. You just remove the original spout, drill holes in the extender spout to match, and bolt it in place. As many as three 1 1/2-ft. sections can be bolted on. Chains allow the add-on sections to pivot for directional control. Kits for top swing augers on Deere, Case-IH, and Massey-Ferguson combines sell for $169.99 plus S&H. Models for bottom swing augers and combines with hinge style chutes sell for $150.55 to $188.19 plus S&H. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, West-ward Products, Inc., Jamestown, N. Dak.
