A crop duster dump gate opens and closes to turn on and off the flow of payload out of the hopper. The traditional mechanical gate is actuated by the pilot through mechanical linkages. The effort required by the pilot to open and close the gate requires significant force and can lead to fatigue or injury. The powered dump gate system is an add-on to the existing traditional mechanical gate system by a booster that is hydraulic, pneumatic, or electric. The powered dump gate eliminates strenuous effort by the pilot and requires no change to the pilot's work environment and methods.
