East central Alberta | This fall I got a 13 x 70 farm king swing auger without a power swing mover because they only had a hydraulic mover. I wanted a electric mover. I am not sure which on to get? I'm between Brehon or a Ultracart MKII. Go ahead, which on do you guys recommend? Or is there a better one out there? TIA Colin

Central Saskatchewan Canada | I went witha brehon and would recomend them. It is a good mover. I lobe pulling up with the super b's and not having to get in and out 6 times to unload.
It doesn't matter if there are ruts or ice, the mover will still swing the auger. |

South Central North Dakota | WE have the Brehon on 13 inch Brandt it works great cuts way down on trips in and out of truck. |

central Illinois | If tou want a setup better than a portable pit ,try a swinger electric remote controlled with Shurco remote trap openers. Start the auger tractor up and sit in the ac to unload. |

Mid-Missouri | I really like our hopperwalker and its electronics. I wish it was a little more powerful on our 14" Brandt HP swingout. It is HEAVY. |

SE northdakota | I've got an augerjogger. I installed it in less than 20 minutes and it has plenty of power. I put it on an 13" westfield auger. Love it. www.augerjogger.com Very nice people ordered it and had it in 2 days. |

Central South Dakota | Couldn't get me or the rest of the crew to give up our hopper walker. I think the guys would mutiny if it got taken away. |

Chebanse, IL..... | I'm not familiar with the 2 that you link, but we've got quite a few yrs experience w/the Hopper Walker products. Had them on 10" swing arounds for years, then added 13" augers this year. Updated to the newest Hopper Walkers & they work fine. Making sure you have enough ground clearance under the swing around is a necessity. We also foam-fill all the little tires. Seems like always the little tires that come with swing-around, plus the Hopper Walker tires would go flat occasionally. If you try to operate the Hopper Walker w/a low or flat tire, you'll roll the tire off the rim. Foam filling ended the problem...forever.
As another poster said, just sit in the tractor cab & operate the truck traps w/the electric trap control & move the hopper walker w/it's remote & life is better, quieter, & cleaner.

| We have two of the "Swingers" One on a 10" Farm King & the other on a 13" Westfield. The one on the Westfield ws originally on a 10". When I traded augers I figured I'd have to buy another complete Swinger but when I called Gary he said all I had to do as buy a new cradle for less than $300. WE also have the Shurelok electric trap openers. Makes a really nice combo when unloading into an auger
I originally bought a "Hopper Walker" but had to send it back because it wouldn't work on a single auger hopper wihout major modifications. . Maybe they have changed this but at the time their ads didn't say it wouldn't work with the single auger hoppers nor did the salesman that I ordered it from. Swinger will work with either as it bolts to the auger tube & not to the hopper.

Southern Saskatchewan | Have had brehonag for three years and love it. Mover works good,never a issue with the signal and the system is expandable for other options like a full bin indicator,winch to lift swing to and from transport,cameras and lights. Located in Alberta they would be a perfect fit for you being from Sk. Very knowledgable and great customer service. Their remote also operates chute openers so you dont have to have two remotes. I looked all over until they were recommended to me. |
