3.20. AUGER-TO-TRACTOR HOOKUP
Important: Auger must be correctly connected to the tractor for all operations, including
transport, raising, placement, and augering grain.
The final stage of the assembly is attaching the auger to the tractor.
When attaching the auger to your tractor, you must leave the correct spacing
between the bottom of the tractor drawbar and the top of the securing device on
the hitch pin.
• To secure, use 2 nuts locked against each other.
• The space should be about 3/4" (1.91 cm) to 1" (2.54 cm) as shown below
• The bolt/hitch pin must be 1” x 5” minimum.

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 figure below illustrates the ideal measurements. Most tractors fall into this
range.
• Dimension (B) may range from 6” (15.2 cm) to 10” (25.4 cm) with 8” (20.3
cm) being ideal.
• If dimensions (A) and (B) on your tractor are as shown, then dimension
(C), which is critical, will be correct.
• If (A) and (B) vary on your tractor from the recommended dimensions,
consult the table below for potential problems and their solutions.
