Both the Smartgate Grain Chute Opener or the Electronic Grain Chute Opener allow a farmer/ rancher to control grain flow without having to leave the truck or tractor seat or without having to climb down from the grain bin, grain drill, or air seeder being filled. The Smartgate Grain Chute Opener, which is an electrically actuated gate for grain trucks and wagons, comes with two remote-control units that have a 250-foot operating range. The Electronic Grain Chute Opener works within 100 feet of the vehicle.
