Hydraulic-Powered Seed Wagon WAGONS/TRAILERS Conversions 18-2-10 Paul Gebhart, Edinburg, Ill., doesn't need a tractor to pull this hydraulic-powered bulk seed wagon because the auger-unloaded wagon is equipped with its own hydraulic power unit.
The wagon's auger is driven by hydraulic motor. To operate it, Gebhart mounted a hydraulic pump - taken from the header on a Deere pull-type combine - on a platform at the rear of the wagon. It's powered by an 8-hp. gas engine, which he can easily remove for other uses when he's done planting. He made his own 9 gal. oil oil reservoir.
The auger is controlled by a spring-loaded hydraulic valve that Gebhart operates with a rope. It comes on when he pulls on the rope and shuts down when he lets up. That makes it ideal for filling seed hoppers.
He uses the seed wagon primarily for wheat and soybeans.
