Portable Grain Augers by Westfield

MK SERIES - mechanical drive

MK80 - 8"
MK100 - 10"
MK130 - 13"

A practical and economical mechanical drive swing-hopper auger. Only Westfield, North America's leading manufacturer of grain elevators - with years of proven field experience - could build such a simple, uncomplicated, efficient and affordable mechanical drive grain auger. The new generation WESTFIELD MK augers. Fast and efficient. Simple and dependable. Labor saving and easy to use. Exactly what you want in a grain auger.

MK SERIES FEATURES:

• LABOR SAVING HYDRAULIC LIFT WITH IMPROVED LIFT SYSTEM!
  Operate the tractor control and smoothly raise the MK in less than a minute. One person can transport, raise and position the auger from the tractor seat.
  The 4" hydraulic cylinder has heavy 5/16" steel lift cable with 9,800 lbs. yield strength. Cables run in large cast iron cable sheaves equipped with bronze bushings. Shut-off valve in hydraulic line prevents auger from creeping down.
  
  
• INTAKE SWING-HOPPER
  Our longer, lower-profile swinghopper, quickly switched to right or left-hand operation, fits under most grain trailers. The vertical transport position provides quick, easy cleanout.
  Spring-loaded safety discharge door on the intake hopper guards against main auger overloading.
  
  Our redesigned lift assist and double roller trackshoe reduces pressure needed to raise the auger and provides a lower transport position.
  
  
• CV-PTO SHAFT
  The Constant Velocity (CV) PTO shaft, equipped with overload shear bolt, is standard equipment. It assures smooth operation and longer wear. (Shown with shield partially removed to show detail.)
  
  
• ANGLE DRIVE
  A Westfield design constant velocity angle-drive replaces the u-joint in the redesigned feed hopper, eliminating the velocity fluctuation vibrations for smoother running and less stress on the drive train.
  
  
• MECHANICAL DRIVE
  The Westfield designed angled gear box drive is enclosed for safer operation. Note large opening in the boot for unrestricted grain flow. The boot incorporates an exclusive Westfield designed "Enhanced Grain Pickup System" which maintains constant grain flow as the auger is raised.
