Handy Unloading Auger Set-Up

Handy Unloading Auger Set-Up AUGERS Augers (29B) 21-5-9 "For years I've had trouble trying to contain grain between two augers when unloading grain from bins. I've tried regular unloading V-boxes, homemade boxes, bales of hay, and even cement blocks," says Robert Calhan, Ottawa, Ill. "I finally came up with a handy set-up I'd like to share with FARM SHOW readers. Lay a piece of canvas across a tractor tire inner tube. The tube only needs enough air in it to hold its shape. Place a disk blade on top of the canvas in the center of the tube. "Rest position the unloading auger over the center of the inner tube. Position the second auger under the unload auger, resting on the disk blade. The blade protects the canvas from ripping and makes it easy to slide the auger end around to get it into the best position. "When you're done you can pick up the canvas without loosing a kernel."
