Top Picks to Move Grain like a Pro

As one of the primary harvest essentials, the choice of grain auger has the ability to determine the success or failure of your season. These grain augers are heavy-duty, high-capacity machines engineered to withstand the demands of peak harvest season, moving grain efficiently from the field to bins, trucks and storage, wherever you need it.

When it comes to the right auger for your operations, these prioritize ease of operation and safety without sacrificing durability and output.

MKX2

The AGI Hutchinson Top Drive Auger is built to accommodate a range of grain-handling needs with configurations available in 8-, 10- and 13-inch diameters. It supports manual, hydraulic or electric winch operation and offers both power take-off( PTO) and electric drive options. The 13-inch model includes an oil-lubricated gear drive and an intake guard with a hitch.

Galvanized main tubing provides corrosion resistance, while heavy-duty aircraft cable and trussing support the structure during operation. The A-frame undercarriage and wide wheelbase are designed to enhance overall stability, particularly during transport and setup. Extended-wear flighting at the intake increases component longevity, and the 82-foot, 13-inch model features an adjustable axle width for easier mobility.

Optional features include internal bearings, a pit auger intake and a variety of hopper styles to fit different storage setups. This auger is suited for producers seeking reliable, mid- to highcapacity grain transport in a range of field and bin site layouts.

CX2-1041

The MKX2 grain auger is built for heavy-duty grain transfer, with models ranging from 10 to 16 inches in diameter and lengths from 53 to 125 feet. Depending on configuration, the system can move up to 23,000 bushels per hour. An open discharge spout is designed to reduce horsepower requirements by up to 20 %, and a tapered bearing is included to support longer component life.

The 13- and 16-inch models feature a boot design with removable shafts and abrasion-resistant boot flighting. Hanger bearings help support the flight and reduce operational noise. Dual side clean-out doors on the 13-inch model allow easier access for inspection and servicing. Wide-standing axles and A-frame supports are used to improve stability, and a steerable axle is standard on 16-inch units and optional on 13-inch models.

Aircraft cable trussing supports long spans. The MKX2 is designed for demanding grain-handling conditions on farms with high-throughput needs.
