ABSTRACT:
When dumping grain from a truck box through the tailgate opening, grain lodges in the corners upon each side of the tailgate opening and the operator normally has to stand on the auger or the like in order to reach over the tailgate with a shovel and is therefore at risk due to the danger of slippage with the danger perhaps of coming into contact with the rotating discharge auger assembly. The present device consists of a handle and an arcuately curved rake blade secured at one end with the major portion of the blade extending on one side thereof. This can be engaged within the tailgate opening and reaches into each back corner of the box thus enabling the operator to pull the lodged grain towards the opening readily and easily.
