Bobcat Drill Fill Makes Seed Handling Easy

Bobcat Drill Fill Makes Seed Handling Easy TRACTORS Skid Steer Loaders 23-5-10 "I use my Bobcat skid steer loader to fill my grain drill using a home-built chute that lets me precisely direct the flow of seed wherever I need it," says Ron Zumberger, Quincy, Ohio. "I bought a used skid steer loader bucket and partly enclosed it with steel. I added a 2-ft. long chute on the end with a 6-in. sq. opening. There's a sliding door over the opening that controls the flow of seed. "I use an 18-in. piece of rubber inner tube to add length and help direct seed. The tube also helps seal up the chute, keeping beans in and dirt out. "The bucket measures 54 in. wide, which allows me to fit it between the tires on the hopper wagon. I fill the bucket with about 10 bu.of grain, which fills one of four hoppers in our grain drill." Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Ron Zumberger, 1353 C.R. 23N, Quincy, Ohio 43343 (ph 937 585-9147).
