E. Kansas		Here are a few suggestions, not sure what you'd like or would work for you:

1. Use another tractor with adequate hydraulic pressure and oil capacity to raise/lower the auger, then no mod's needed on your Super H. Maybe use an extension hose with quick disconnects to span the distance between auger cylinder hose and your tractor on the wagons, and no unhooking wagons needed. Maybe put a hand valve at end of auger cylinder hose so pressure can be relieved in extension hose and then don't have to reconnect under pressure. Use the Super H to run the auger.

2. If you change the cylinder on the auger to bigger diameter so you can use the Super H for raising/lowering, put a tee in the cylinder hose, at the tractor's end. Put a hand valve between the tee and the tractor's quick disconnect. This will allow easy disconnecting and reconnecting without pressure with the auger raised. Put another hand valve (recommend using needle valve to provide good control of flow) in a line from the remaining port of the tee and connect a hose to it which will be used to dump oil into jugs/buckets as you lower the auger. You won't need to use the Super H to lower the auger when it is above the height where you need to add oil, so you won't risk overflowing the reservoir when lowering. Maybe reuse the same containers to dump the oil back into, which contained the extra oil added to the Super H when you were raising the auger.

It's kind of sloppy, but can be done easily with a bit of attention to detail. It's only a few gallons of oil, and you'll need no mod's to the Super H. Just be sure you don't draw the reservoir down too low and make the pump cavitate. Be sure you leave enough oil in the reservoir so the hydraulic system can cool properly when the tractor is running. You can add some short hoses as needed between tee, hand valves, quick disconnect, etc. All fittings, hoses, valves, etc must be adequate for the hydraulic pressures involved. All should be readily available from a farm parts store.

My email is good if needed.
