Subject: RE: hitting the wagon



It made a Crop
Come on now. I can back a 20' Flex Head into a 22' Door (with the head still on the combine), I have about 3-4" inches of clearance on each side. But I too have trouble centering the Auger over the smaller Wagons too. So your saying I'm bad driver. Give me a break..

It's only a problem on the smaller wagons where the Auger is 6' +/- above the sides. A semi or larger Wagon were the Auger is only 2-3' above it is no problem. I guess I just need to shell out $25,000-30,000 or so for a couple of 600 bu. Wagons to replace my 4 old Killbros 350's.

I do the angle thing someone mentioned. Pull at an angle to the front of the wagon then backup centering the flow into the wagon. It's not so much of centering the auger over the wagon as it is centering were the Grain hit the wagon. At 5-6' above the grain flows over another 2-3'. Add a 20 mph wind and it's a whole different deal.
