Wagon Hoist Update


cvphoto36195.jpg

I want to post a update and a thank you to everyone that
offered advice and to JD Seller for fixing us up with a
good used cylinder for the W 5 Midwest Hoist , I sure
appreciate it. The project is complete now and was well worth the struggle.
I have tried to post a picture along with
this post so we will see if it works. Thanks again.

I had the same setup on a JD 953 running gear when I started farming on my own in 1980. 4' wooden sides for dumping silage in a bunk silo. problem was, it didn't go quite steep enough, so I had to yank the wagon to get the corn to slide. made for some interesting moments when one back wheel would hit a soft spot in the bunk. I tipped it over several times.

your wagon looks very nice.
 
Thank you everyone for the most kind words I sure
appreciate both them and the help I received here at
YT. Way back when a neighbor that did custom silo
filling had two wagons with a hoist and high sides
they worked ok but the guys at the silo didn't like them
because if the load started to get away from them and
slide to fast it would just cover up the blower then they
had the job of scooping all that silage before the next load came in.
These wagons are handy but do have limitations and there are
many twisted hoist frames to testify to that.
Thanks again
