Gentle Bean Handler Uses Combine Return Elevator

Gentle Bean Handler Uses Combine Return Elevator PLANTERS Planters 23-6-37 To avoid damage to bean seed, Sam Ellis, and his sons Roger and Bob, built this bulk hopper with a hydraulic-powered unloading conveyor. They mounted an old gravity box on back of a flatbed. Then they fitted it with a return elevator off a combine. It's positioned so the lower end is just below the chute. The elevator swings out to the side at a right angle, braced by a support arm mounted on a hinged bracket on the side of the box. The elevator is powered by a hydraulic motor mounted on the flatbed. There's a hydraulic motor at the top of the elevator. The men narrowed up the opening on the grain door so seed comes out slowly and evenly, further minimizing damage.
