rear unload forage wagon

johnwayne360 · Aug 15, 2013

are there any older forage wagons that could be made rear unload without a lot of fabrication?

I had a JD 216 box that had tailgate and a rear-unload position on the gearbox. I only unloaded ear corn that way, never silage.

Grain-O-Vator 60 boxes were designed to unload at the rear.

New Holland had one that would unload front or rear.

Farm Hand made a rear unload in the early 60s.

The older John Deere "chuck wagons" were made to unload either front or rear. I think you just changed the gear box on the front. We used to fill trench silo's unloading from the rear and would fill uprights into a blower from the front.

David Bradly had rear unload only.

I think both Gehl and Dion would rear unload.

I still have a false front gate rear unload silage wagon PTO operating in the back of a shed.

All of the JD and NH wagons that I've had over the past 30 years would unload in both directions, but it was always hard on the apron chains, because they pulled from the front. If you're doing a trench, I feel much safer and close ta as fast overall with an old blower and a directional spout.

Thanks guys. I have an experiment in mind..I have an old flail chopper and am thinking of trying to flail chop some corn stalks this fall, dump them in a building, and use them to feed cattle. But im not sure how well it will work. So if i can find a cheap workable silage wagon, i dont think unloading out the back will hurt so much, because there wont be much weight to move..Just an experiment..

It works great been doing it for 3 years that way and the cattle love it. Check back in the Allis Chalmers forum for a post I made last fall with pictures of my rig.
I forgot to add that the wagons in my pictures are Rhoorda made in rock valley Iowa. They are cheep and rhoorda made a pile of them S&H are also a rear unload only wagon too made in Sioux Falls SD. There is a pile of them around too.

On the Deere chuckwagons you only had to remove the beater shear pin and the cross conveyor shear pin to use reverse.We have several 122 and 125 chuckwagons but have never used the rear unload.

we had S&H and Dokken rear unloads ,many around here had Roorda's made in Rock Valley, Ia. I don't know how far they got from the midwest but finding one or two would be alot easier and cheaper than building something
