Swing auger
Brandt Industries has a new swing-away auger.
An improved design on the swing tube’s plastic spouting provides a sealed transition area that keeps grain in and moisture out. Removable spout covers make for easy inspection, maintenance and clean out.
A heavy-duty scissor lift, combined with double truss 3/8 inch cabling, ensures maximum reach and increased stability, while allowing for the lowest transport height possible.
The features are available on the 10-inch augers in 60 and 70 foot lengths. The enlarged main tube enhances feeding from the continuously welded boot.

For durability, the high through-put transition areas feature chain couplers and 11/4 inch shaft gearboxes with dust shields. It is painted with powder paint.
