Subject: RE: How much volume with a 6 inch round tube/ bin unload auger move?



No way will a 6" bin unload keep a 10" truck auger full. WE rent a couple old bins that have 6" unloads set so that we can run both into a 10" truck auger at the same time. Even then they don't keep the 10" full. Granted the augers are wore but I seriously doubt if new would they keep it full. FWIW, we do have them speeded up, went from a 3" pulley on the motor to a 5" and we've extended them back into the well as far as possible.

I've been told a unload auger should fill the next size auger but we haven't found that to be true. We have a couple bins with 10" unloads & even then we don't run the truck auger tractor , usually a IH M or SM, wide open. Cloase but not wide open on the throttle
