Two key goals for growers are speed and safety when handling and transferring grain, seed or granular fertilizer.

The new 1000 Auger Ace from Yetter Farm Equipment features a hydraulic cylinder that allows for safe, quick and easy side-to-side positioning of an auger or conveyor in relation to the storage container or bin intake hole.

The Auger Ace mounts on the auger or conveyor axle, which allows the operator to control the side-by-side position by raising and lowering the axle hydraulically. This allows placement of the auger or conveyor discharge spout over the intake hole of the bin or silo.

“Because is hydraulically controlled, you can use the tractor hydraulics to adjust the discharge position without ever leaving the seat,” said Jim Lascelles, Yetter service manager. “You don’t need to go and get a hydraulic jack when you have to side shift or reposition the auger.”
