Auger systems are subject to wear and tear just like any other machinery, especially when they’re processing large volumes of grain. If your augers are beginning to look rippled or thin on the edges, it’s a sign they may need to be repaired or replaced. Not only will a worn auger result in slower discharge speeds but they can also suddenly collapse causing blocked auger systems and hours of downtime to rectify. At Trufab Engineering, we provide auger repair services in addition to custom building new auger systems.

What Can Go Wrong with an Auger System?

Aside from wear and tear to the augers, there are a variety of components in your auger system that can experience issues, including:

• Clutch – As a large amount of torque is required from the engine to turn the auger, the clutch can wear out and over time lose its ability to engage the drive shaft. This can be a result of worn friction discs or the clutch springs losing their tension.
• PTO shaft – PTO driven augers will have a drive shaft (or PTO shaft) which connects the auger system to the tractor (typically connected to a clutch or gearbox on the auger system). These can break if clutch tensions are incorrect or if not stowed correctly during transport.
• Gearbox – Some augers use gearboxes. These will wear down over time but wear can be minimized by maintaining the correct oil levels in your gearbox and ensuring the seals aren’t leaking.
