Hydraulic Auger Lift

Hydraulic Auger Lift GRAIN HANDLING Augers (4) 15-2-24 New portable hydraulic auger lift takes the work out of cranking augers, elevators and silo unloaders up and down and can be easily moved from one machine to another, according to Blazon Corp., Titonka, Iowa. The "Simpalift" makes use of the auger's existing winch. It consists of a U-shaped metal frame with an orbit motor on one end and a hold-down chain on the other. You replace the winch's crank handle with an adapter bracket that attaches to the orbit motor, and then wrap the hold-down chain around the auger tube. The orbit motor is powered by the tractor's hydraulic system with the engine running at idle. "Other hydraulic auger-raising devices are designed to be permanently installed," says Keith Ransom, distributor. "Our system can be used anywhere on your farm. Each winch is fitted with an adapter bracket. The manual crank handle can also be fitted with a shaft that fits into the adapter bracket so you can still manually raise the auger if desired." Sells for $375 with two adapter brackets (one for the winch, one for the handle). Each additional set of adapter brackets sells for $15.
