When selecting an auger, there are seven key features you should look for:
- Drive system. What type of drive system do you prefer? Choices include tractor PTO, electric motor, gas motor, and hydraulics
- Unloading. What kind of truck are you unloading? Do you require a swing-away hopper?
- Auger application. Will augers be used for unloading and loading trucks and bins, for loading trucks only, or solely for loading bins?
- Storage. Augers are made for a flat storage bin with door access, flat storage bin with unload, hopper bottom bin, and flat ground storage.
- Seed or pulse crops. Is the auger intended for seed or for crops that need gentler handling? A conveyer belt should be considered for the gentlest handling.
- Capacity. Do you have a preferred capacity? Capabilities range from low (0 to 3,000 bushels per hour) to high (6,000 to 9,000 bushels per hour). Make sure to match your auger capacity to your bin’s grain spreader.
- Length. A helpful tool to calculate auger length is Eave height of bin + ½ bin diameter x 1.4 = auger length.
