u-trough bin unloading augers

[poorboy]

Have a brandt too just like that one, its fit and finish is nicer than our Batco. I like that the motor isnt 7 ft in the air. The mover on batco requires chains on the tires to get around in the winter. Mover much nicer on the brandt, fast I like that, also turns on a dime, good traction. Little thing but I like that the hitch has a storage spot on the brandt. Hopper is nicer on the brandt. Batco slightly quicker loader however.

Biglentil you have the Brandt u trough or the conveyor? Is it preferred to the 12” meridian for unloading bins or not?

Belt have never tried a u trough so can't comment. Oh i see thats a U trough in the picture. I use belts for loading pulses and seeders. The 12" Auger for canola and cereals. Learned the hard way early on not to use a belt for canola. Cleaning the canola grease out was a real buggar. Saving 10 minutes a load with the 12" Meridian Auger is nice, time is one thing you can never buy more of. And yes it does fit under our 24ft vale hoppers. I forget the name of the metal hopper on it.

My bin unload auger blew up today and I am in the market for new auger for unloading hopper bins. The few quotes that I got are way more money than I wanted to spend, but choices seem limited and I need something soonish.

There is a 2022 Brandt available, but not much out for info. Anyone have one or heard about them?

Westfields have been sold locally and liked by my neighbors, but non available till spring.

New 12x39 meridian available with a 40hp vanguard, but it is not a u trough and not sure that 39' will fit under 24' diameter hopper bins.

Possibly a springland close by, but dealer has to confirm that. The hopper looks clumsy on them.

Ideally I need something to load quick and also load canola. Or should I abandon the U trough idea and pay even more for an oilseed conveyor?

Check out the coop system. I went up to Edmonton and down to Saskatoon on the weekend and I saw Westfield inventory at Rosetown, Kindersley, Oyen, Sedgwick and Saskatoon. Not sure if everyone had utrough unload augers, but some did.

Edge Agro 12-42 with 4 cyl diesel. Puts all other augers to shame and will likely outlast 4 of them.

Out of curiosity is it tier 4? Def?

Bought a new Brandt conveyor, waiting for its arrival, sure hope it works good after hearing about these U troughs. Crazy prices on these things.
Have a 2015 Batco that’s put through a ton of product.

Yes thats the one

What is the engine RPM empty?
Ours is 3800.run it at 3650 when loaded.
You said you adjusted something?
Ours seems gutless.

Been a few years but pretty sure you just need to give the governer spring a little stretch. Ill have a look to confirm. Can keep it right full even in cereals and doesnt bog down after that change.

We replaced a worn out 10" Westfield auger this fall with a Westfield U trough. 44 feet with a 40 hp motor. It moves grain very well. When I priced around my local coop had a couple in stock and were way cheaper than everyone else.

Something out of wack with ours.
Only ran 3000 rpm when it was delivered.

Convey All has a new truck loader that does Canola/ all materials… called Volt. Can get in stainless for fertilizer as well. Rechargeable batteries… 120/240v system. Multiple speed.

Will be coming out in the spring 23…all electric drives… very fast loading. ‘Reasonable comparable cost. ‘

Cheers

My guess on the conveyall is $75,000

our 37 hp EFI vanguard on that new wheat heart stalls twice every time once its cold out , always runs third time , starts good though. dealer is gonna look at it

G&R is a dealer if still on warranty , 2 years i think

Tiny gauge on the side shows rpm.
Our stalls minimum of twice also.
Except..we installed a glue on block heater.last week.
Plugged in over night and 1st time ever it never stalled once..
Also a winter front..
