SE MN Still in Pothole Country | I have an OLD Brandt 10x61 swing hopper auger with hydraulic drive on the hopper. Also have a Westfield MK10x61. What I do not like about the mechanical drive is if you plug it in wet corn with a too small tractor have to disconnect chain to run just the main tube auger. Never had a problem running the Brandt with a 4020-4440 with the turtle valve on the remote. FYI the Brandt is not a low profile hopper and I am guessing it pulls easier than the low profile style hopper. |
why use right angle gearboxes for swing auger?
