Measurements Between Drawbar and Driveline
Since the auger and tractor become an integral unit during transport, placement, and operation, the
configuration and measurements between the tractor drawbar and the tractor PTO driveline are very
important.
The tractor drawbar dimension must be 14 inches between the end of the shaft and drawbar pin hole center.
This will provide clearance for turning and allow telescoping of the shaft when the auger is raised. Consult your
tractor manual for the drawbar adjustment procedure.
Use a tractor PTO shaft that is 540 RPM, 6 spline, 1 3/8 diameter.
Important
Do not use shaft adaptors on the tractor shaft.
Use the jack on the hitch to raise or lower the auger as required to match the drawbar.

5.5. Raising and Lowering the Intake Hopper
1. Attach the winch cable hook to the appropriate hopper lifting point.
2. Fully raise the hopper with intake side facing towards the main auger tube.
3. Secure the hopper with the transport chain and hook.
Do not operate auger with intake hopper in transport position. This will damage the u-
joint.
Important
The hopper intake must face the main auger when in transport.
4. Ensure swing-away is empty before raising or lowering.
5. Do not permit anyone to stand near the swing-away when raising or lowering.
