I've been looking for a grain buggy with a hydraulic auger to load feeders for many years. They go extremely high at auctions in terrible shape. This one is a huge model. I'm looking for the smaller 100 bushel models the farmers used back in the day when a 40 hp combine was the norm with no cab. They are out there, but everyone is looking at them too.

Yeah we've got a smaller one parked out here in the boneyard. I've never really looked it over to see if it's rusted out or anything. It rides on 4 regular 14 or 15" tires.

For sale?
I can sure ask em. It's been parked in the same weeds since I've worked here 5-1/2yrs and I don't think it moved for some years before that. I'm thinking it says Grain-O-Vator on it. I googled some images and I believe it looks similar to this pic below but may actually look a lil better condition than the one pictured. I'll ask em if it might be for sale and if so I'll look it over and send you some pictures.

That's just about what I've been looking for. That one is PTO driven, which is ok as well. Would prefer hydraulic, but I do have some hydraulic motors around that might make a conversion. Let me know.

I’ve seen a couple of these for sale used, but I’m just not sure I could get into my place with it loaded if it’s muddy.

I can get them into my places. May have to do it strategically though and not wait until they are empty. I don't set mine to throw a lot of corn. Throws about a half pound, and then they come lick the spinner for what they want. I need to raise them so they can't get to the spinners. Simple operation, but I forget to do it every year.

I’ve driven by a yellow sign that says ‘bulk corn 24/7’ for a couple years. It’s on 412 west of Ringwood 1 mile then a mile south. It’s an elevated hopper that you drive under. It’s 10 pounds for a dollar, so not a bad price. There are even plastic bushel barrels that you can use then bring back. There is a money machine you put your cash in, pick whole or cracked, hit start and you fi up with a telescopic tube. Pretty handy but not close to me.
I know there is one in Wellston by Butchers BBQ. Does anyone know how much that one charges before I drive over there?

They have one of those in Pawhuska and Hominy too.
