Has anyone made their own bale chute? I bought a 24T with a thrower, don't need/want the thrower but need a chute. The idea of making one is simple just want some ideas/input. I was going to use angle iron for the bottom corners with one flat piece of steel running down the center. Smaller angle iron would be used on the front and rear to tie the peices together. It sounds fool proof but also very heavy and over built. There is some sheet metal fabricators around my area but not sure how much that would cost me. Any ideas/tips are welcome, thanks!

The way you are talking about doing it will work but it will be real heavy. Just have some 10 gauge sheet steel bent to make the chute. I have had several made over the years and the last one did not cost more than fifty dollars.
The first one should be just wide enough to go on the out side of the bale chamber. Then the next just wide enough to fit over the first at the rear. I usually made them 3 feet long. The edge was usually about 2 1/2 inches tall on each side. Just drill the holes in the side rails and use bolts with double nuts for the hinges.

Here are two pictures of JD 24Ts with loading chutes. They are on Tractor house. I can't get the pictures to copy to here. Look at the links an there are good rear side views of the chutes.

Also here is a picture of the chute for a JD 336 baler. It would work too.
