In Reply to: Value of Grain Auger? posted by Tree-Farmer on August 22, 2023 at 19:44:32:
I go for cheap and have had good results. I like Hutchinson augers for the balance to lift them they balance well and are not so heavy you can't trun them by hand or adjust them. We have a New Idea auger from new and it was always a bit heavy to lift and maneuver fo using be it to load trucks or fill bins with. I bought 2 augers from a dealer both were Hutchinson augers one a12x30 foot and the other a 10x40 both have some wear on them and the one had a dent in the side. I since have cut the dent out and welded a piece in place of it and painted with galvanizing paint seems to be fine. I paid less than 2000 for both and had them hauled in. We now have about 5 augers. I bought one that is almost new that has been laid over.I am going to straighten it or replace the tube have not decided which yet. Only paid 500 fo it. It's Cardinal auger. It is also heavy on the bottom to lift and is a 10x5? thinking about adding a couple feet to the top when I fix it. One of the reasons for the tube replacement if I go that route. Looking at the thickness of the tube and wear on the flight is the biggest issue. Get as big of an auger as you can afford. Another words you will out grow an 8 inch pretty easy and if you think you need a 6 inch go to the 8 inch. 8's are pretty popular so plenty of them around used. The hutchinsons we use are the 2 previously mentioned and a 60 foot 8 inch we use on another farm and stays there now. I would like to put the 2 inch over at that place for load out in the fall as we fill it. We use that bin for surge space during harvest mostly then leave it filled when done there.

Today's Featured Article - Good As New - by Bill Goodwin. In the summer of 1995, my father, Russ Goodwin, and I acquired the 1945 Farmall B that my grandfather used as an overseer on a farm in Waynesboro, Georgia. After my grandfather’s death in 1955, J.P. Rollins, son of the landowner, used the tractor. In the winter 1985, while in his possession the engine block cracked and was unrepairable. He had told my father
