Auger wagon spout

[Huskers86]

I have an older brent auger wagon and had run a buddies newer j&m last fall and decided I needed to update mine a bit. He had the cylinder to move the spout to help hit center. I had not run a kart in 20 years and didn't run it much then so I thought this would be a good thing after running his. We run a video camera and with this my operator should get center pretty easy I hope. And I know...my vertical welds stink. Here are some pictures.

A buddy of mine just bought a Parker cart this year with a spout kinda like the one you built.Please dont think I am making fun of your welds but you need a small wire welder bad.I bought a 110v Miller years ago and it made my life sooooo much easier when I had a project to do with thin sheetmetal.You can turn it down low enough to sow those seams together with no trouble at all.What brand of cameras do you use? Do you like them? I bought one from Shoup(made by Hy capacity) two years ago and have been dissatisfied with it ever since.I have been thinking about buying a nother brand but not sure which one to buy.

I take all critisism in stride. Haley I have a 110 wire feed but it only has 2 heat settings on it. I have a new 250 miller auto feed that I used on this project but was to lazy to go down the ladder and turn the heat down. I think the heat was to hot for vertical welding but I welded the inside of the box upside down and it came out great....go figure. My camera is an Ag Cam brand. I have the wired ones and have put one on the combine bin extention. I have it set so that I can see the augers running in the grain tank and it is also usefull when the bin buzzer says it's full so you can get that extra few feet to make the end of the field. I mount my cam on the top of the auger fixed to a magnet and then when we road the wagon we turn it to use as a rear view cam. We don't have extended mirrors on the tractor so it works well. You can see traffic back there instead of driving blind. I'd like the wireless ones but they cost a bit more. I think the price was down compared from when I bought them several years ago.
