Kind of a pain really, ran one for many many years and it seemed like we were putting a gearbox in every other (if not every single) year. Auger always leaked corn at the joint no matter what... But it did move grain i guess.

Edit: Just incase anybody is wondering, anybody that ran the cart always started the auger empty and at idle so the gearboxes were not being abused. Use to get gearbox oil but when that wasnt working we just pumped it full of cornhead grease a couple times a season and that seemed to help alot (3 to 4 years a gearbox).

There's better out there, i'd say keep looking.
