Auger-Mounted "Full Bin Alarm"

Auger-Mounted "Full Bin Alarm" AUGERS Augers (29B) 27-4-29 You'll like this new auger-mounted, wireless "full bin alarm" that we spotted at the recent Western Canada Farm Progress Show in Regina, Sask. The Bin Buddy is designed to hang from the end of a auger. It consists of a 3-ft. long white plastic spout that bolts on in place of the original down spout. The bottom end of the spout is fitted with a transmitter that runs off three double AA batteries. A receiver equipped with an alarm plugs into any 7-pin electrical outlet on back of the tractor that's used to operate the auger. When grain contacts the sensor, the transmitter automatically triggers the alarm. "It eliminates the need to climb up on the bin," says inventor James Palin. "It works day or night and moves with you as you move the auger from bin to bin. We came up with the idea after trying other bin monitoring products and not finding anything we liked." Sells for $1,100 (Canadian) plus S&H. All mounting hardware is included.
