I pulled my cross augers and put stainless steel pans in the hopper troughs on my CR9040. Cross augers don't look bad but the flighting is worn down 1/2" on the left end compared to the right side. Flighting is not razor sharp or anything but it's obviously worn more than the good end. I'm leaning heavily towards leaving as is and reinstalling but am wondering if the rest of you would do that or should I repair it since they are out? Combine will be used on probably 60,000 bu a year. We run two machines in beans. Obviously it will unload a little slower but I'm mainly concerned with how soon it will need to be repaired/replaced. It's not a hard job to pull the augers either but still something to avoid in a couple years. Thanks. |
