some of you may remember my post last year about elevators and who made them. Well, now I'm thinking about how many makes of gravity wagons there are/were (I know, I'm weird). I still have the Little Giant (Glencoe) my grandfather bought new back around 1950. The 5 others I have acquired used over the years are a Parker, a Fav-O-Rit, an EMCO, a Kill Bros, and what I believe to be a Huskee (no ID on it). I have also seen Unverferth, J&M, Country Boy, EZFlow, Ficklin, and Kory gravity wagons. Anybody have some to add to the list?

A wagon, or box on a standard wagon running gear, that is designed for hauling grain, shelled corn beans, etc. It has tapered sides and a door (gate) on one side, so the grain can be dispensed directly into hoppers on elevators, grain dumps at elevators, etc. Basically a bottom self emptying bin on wheels.

Actually, this is the sort of thing that pops into my head when I'm spending long, uneventful hours driving the combine or tractors . . . .

Oh let's see. DMI, Dakon, Brent, Oliver, Heider, EZ Flow, Brillion, M&W, Bushnell. I'm sure I'm missing many but that's just off the top of my head.
