Wagon Wrench makes Dump Chute Easy to Open GRAIN HANDLING Accessories 15-5-11 Opening dump chutes on grain wagons is a lot easier with a new fold-out handle that bolts to the wheel.
"When wagons are full it's always difficult to open the chute because the weight of the grain is against the door and the small diameter wheel can be quite a chore to turn," says Glen A. Wells, Spencerville, Ohio, about his "Wagon Wrench".
The fold-out handle attaches to the wheel with two bolts. It consists of a piece of 1-in. sq. tubing about 2 ft. long that fits inside a length of channel iron that runs across the width of the wheel. When needed, you just pull out a pin and fold it outward, using the added leverage to turn the wheel.
"We made a portable version a few years ago but then we always had to look for it when we needed it. This new version is always on the wagon."
Wagon Wrench sells for $29 (plus $6.50 shipping). Wells would like to work with an existing company to manufacture and market the idea.
