I have a set of 1998 timpte super B trailers that I would like to use to fill my airtank with. I have called both michels and cancade and neither one has a product that will work with the all aluminum timptle trailer. The traps on the bottom of the hoppers are 30 inches wide instead of the standard 24 inches that Canadian made trailers are.
I do not have a wet kit on my tractor and was thinking of either running a underhopper auger with a gas engine and an electric clutch on it for remote control or going for the hydraulic version and putting a portable gas powered hydraulic powerpack on the tractor(like wheatheart or e-kay sell). Has anyone build their own units and have any tips on mistakes to avoid or "must have items"?
Was thinking of buying a gas powered Johnson transfer auger that was 7 feet long and mounting it onto a cannonball track like barn doors use. I thought that if I built a hopper for it about 12" by 34" and about 2 inches shorter than the hopper door that the wheat or fertilizer would not run on the ground if the auger was stopped and the trap was left open.
Being their is no steel to weld too I am having trouble figuring out how to mount an auger and I am nervous about drilling lots of holes in the hoppers (I am scared about creating a weak spot that will cause the trailers too crack).
Thanks for any ideas.
