you'll be buying new augers every 5 years


I was trying to learn about that from people with real world experience.

If a 16x125 auger costs say $115K, how much are you paying for just the auger over the life of the auger?

Can you run 3M bushels through it? That would be $0.04 per bushel just for the auger (not even including opportunity cost). That honestly doesn’t sound super appealing to me especially if the same bushel might get put into two different bins with the same auger because I’m trying to clean a partially filled bin out after the corn has been air dried.
