Semi-Mounted Auger Speeds Up Hopper Filling
T.J. and Teddy Shambaugh, Oakley, Ill., came up with this labor saving method of filling their large planter hoppers. They equipped an enclosed semi trailer with a hydraulic auger. Inside the truck a hopper for bagged seed corn is located directly above the auger.
When they switch to planting soybeans, the Shambaughs simply move the small hopper away and set large bean containers down in its place. What they like about the system is that the enclosed semi keeps the seed well protected from the weather.
