You can make a flex auger any length you want (within reason and drive capability) and make it go basically anywhere you want.

 

 

That said, if you do not need a flex auger I wouldn't use one to fill buckets or to put protein in a mixer.     A 3" flex auger is painfully slow if you're standing there waiting for it.   

3" flex will move somewhere around 50 lbs/minute.       A 4" straight auger will be around 150-200 lbs/min.

 

 

If you still want to use the flex auger just put a short piece of straight pipe on the boot and attach the drive head.




Agreed, flex augers are for slow automatic situations.
