had this whirlwind for about 20 years. always was a real pain to move around and hitch up. saw pictures in farm/show (i think) where someone had put wheels under theirs. works slicker than owl grease!!!!! in process of giving it a new paint job.

Nice! I have one similar to it and I thought about adding a skirt around the top about a foot high to go further between fill ups. It looks like it is set up to pull someting behind it . What would you pull that it wouldn't throw seed over top of?

All our 3-point fertilizer spreaders have a similar hitch. Hitch is used to pull the wagon with fertilizer sacks from the barn to the field. When the spreader is in operation the hitch is not used ;)
My 2 cents. Hendrik from the Netherlands

i have no idea!! it came that way. i guess if you were sowing clover or any other "fine" seed you sow/ then hook a light weight drag to it and cover without taking the seeder off.

Put the drag (steels bar with old chains looped on it) on your drawbar - That's how I do it.
One pass to seed and cover.
Old mattress springs work great! Not a heavy pull for your cub either.

drag would have to be a looooong way behind seeder. sowing rye it will cover 50-60 feet. here in alabama hill country we don't have room for a drag that big.

thought about putting a small/short cylinder on it to open/close the hopper so i could use it with the cab tractor.

Look for a cylinder off the spout of a Fox chopper or something. They are very small (about 2.5 O.D.) I don't know the length, but it's maybe 12" closed. It uses 1/8" hoses (High Pressure grease gun hose). Very small and plenty of them are in the junk yards. Donovan from Wisconsin
