Buhler Farm King 1060 Grain Auger
The main chute is 104' long; the wheels are about 18' apart.
We towed it some 65 miles, through four large towns, to get it to where you see it now.
This pan is much larger than it appears and it swivels or pivots.
It is on wheels and you either pull it with a tractor and chain or push it with a skid-steer to position it underneath the hopper chutes under a hopper-bottom grain trailer.
With the pan out of the way as you see it, you navigate the semi into place, and then position the pan; when one hopper is empty, you reposition the trailer for the next one; when the trailer is empty, you drag the pan out of the way.
The two big screws you see, and a third one that is under and between them, pull the grain into the big screw that is inside the tube; which, in turn, pulls the grain and dumps it into the bottom end of the 104'-long screw, which pulls it to the top of the bin.
The threads on the screws are called "flights".
Besides hopper-bottom semi-trailers, any other means of hauling the grain can dump into the pan, such as rear-dump trucks and trailers and side-dump gravity-flow wagons.
I hope you find this interesting.
