Electric-Controlled Telescoping Fill Spout

Electric-Controlled Telescoping Fill Spout GRAIN HANDLING Augers (4) 21-1-3 "It lets you fill a 16-row planter without moving your wagon or truck," says Wayne Neiwold of Hydra Fold Auger, Inc., about his new electric-controlled telescoping fill auger. You control the new fill spout at the discharge end with a 12-volt switch, making it easy for one man to fill a planter. What makes the new unit unique is that there's a manual override if the 12 volt system ever malfunctions, or if 12-volt power is not available. The spout mounts on any new or existing hydraulic-powered Hydra Fold unload auger. Hydra Fold augers have been on the market for 34 years. "It's the most reliable auger on the market. In fact, parts from new augers still fit augers we built more than 30 years ago," says Niewold, noting that the company's unload augers fit any gravity box unloading door from 32 to 42 in. wide. Spout is controlled by a solenoid valve that opens and closes hydraulic flow to the motor that powers the auger. If 12-volt power is not available, the motor can be controlled with a standard hydraulic valve. The telescoping spout sells for $550. A 6-in., 16-ft. Hydra Fold unload auger sells for $976. A 14-ft. auger is also avail-able for $878. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Hydra Fold Auger, Inc., 149 North Market St., Paxton, Ill. 60957 (ph 217 379-2614).
