Questions; What size is the discharge auger in the drying bin you are moving? If it's smaller than 8", would you consider upgrading it as part of the move? You mention moving grain into one storage bin. But you also mention bins, plural. Would you want to transfer into another different bin someday? What do you have for augers now? What do you mean by "small" auger? As JD says, I wouldn't go smaller than 8". Have you seen "roof" augers? That's a permanently mounted auger running the length of the roof, from the bottom to the top, which you can dump into with another auger. That requires an electric motor up top.
If you have the room, time, and strength to be moving transport augers about, then, again, as JD suggests, that's probably the simplest option. If you want to keep bins in a line, I suppose some kind of auger installation across the tops would work. The problem with any "installation" is that it better be planned out and done right the first time, and it's expensive- cranes/labor/etc.
I started with a 7"x35' transport dumping into a roof auger on a 30' bin. Then for years, I had two 8"x50' transports, one for putting grain in, and one for taking it out. I tired of hauling augers around. My bins are in sort of a semi-circle, and I'm very limited for room. With a few years of good crops, and the ethanol inflated corn prices, I was able to put in an elevator leg. Now I can move grain in, out, from any bin to any bin, between vehicles, etc., without hauling around transport augers. Don't limit yourself from future expansion.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
