I'd recommend going the opposite of the other suggestions. Instead of getting bigger guage or binoculars standing at bin to shut auger off, use a wireless key fob like on vehicle door unlocks and tie it into the dragout auger magnetic starter. Then you could get a wireless wifi camera from Larson's. Mount truck and trailer gauges where you can see them from truck cab. Assuming you have electric motor on augers, once you get dragout gate set, you never have to get out of truck until time to open intermediate wells. Sure is nice setting in truck watching it fill when it's cold, icy, and blowing and when it's scorching hot out too. No more dust in the eyes or lungs. No more climbing up and down trailer and truck steps. Got the camera for my 80 yr old dad. He always takes time to grab camera and iPad which is really saying something as he doesn't see the need of most of this tech stuff...just a bunch of frills. But this one he really likes and see the value in.
