Tractor-Mounted Scoop Auger

Tractor-Mounted Scoop Auger HAY & FORAGE HARVESTING Bale Handling (5) 11-6-35 "It's one of our most popular products, especially now with so much grain in storage," says Glen Luenenberg, Sudenga Industries representative about the company's tractor-mounted "scoop" auger. The 12-in. dia. model can load out up to 9,000 bu. per hour from flat or bin storage. With the use of an optional grain thrower attachment- which tosses grain up to 50 ft. - and dump hopper, the auger can be used to fill flat storage buildings from trucks or wagons. The 8-ft. wide scoop at the base of the auger is made of 12 ga. steel with reinforced backing. Scoop auger flighting is 1/4-in. thick on a 2 3/8-in. shaft running on flange block hanger bearings. Discharge auger flighting is 1/4-in. thick on a 2 3/8-in. shaft running on wood block hanger bearings. The 1 1/4-in. solid shaft driveline runs on sealed high-speed bearings on 5-ft. centers. An optional scissor hoist raises and lowers the auger to give it a low transport carrying height. The dump hopper attaches to the bottom of the scoop to unload trucks and wagons and twin 9-in. drag-out augers, 8-ft. long, can be fitted to the scoop for cleanout. A 12-in. dia. auger 32-ft. long sells for $7,677. A 10-in. auger is also available. Lengths vary from 24 to 40 ft.
