Handy Funnel For Silo Chutes
 ✖  |
Ken Glendinning, of Lucan, Ontario, got "fed up" with the mess of handling silage out of his silo discharge chute. He developed a fiberglass discharge funnel that not only solved his problem but has solved a similar problem for more than 300 farmers within a 50 mile radius of his farm who have purchased the device since he began selling it several months ago.
"Most farmers either put up with the mess or build a variety of devices that plug up and may make the problem worse. Nearly every farmer who sees our funnel understands the need for it immediately," Glendinning told FARM SHOW.
Made from smooth fiberglass to prevent plug-ups, the "Fiber Funnel" comes with an adapter plate designed to fit any silo discharge chute. It's available in either a 20 or 40? angle, depending on height of the discharge and to where the farmer wants to funnel the silage. Extra 9-in. pipe is fitted, as needed, to its 24-in. length to funnel feed to conveyers, mixers or carts.
The funnel comes off fast with quick-release handles.
The funnel sells for $115 plus, $6.50 per foot for extra pipe.
