I am trying to find the unload auger height at the spout for a F3. Any help appreciated.

Depends on tires.
18.4-26s puts the base of tube spout, at 10'.
23.1-26s puts it at 10'-4".
When you mention auger spout, there is the extended tip or the tube base where it connects to tube. The tip drops the height about a foot.

What are you wanting to dump into?

I want to be able to use the wagons I have as they are but it will be close. They could be modified a little but not much because I want to keep the roll tarps on them.
I don't have the combine yet, just thinking out loud, I guess.

With a simple attachment to your unloading auger swing out hydraulic cylinder, you can easily add 12 to 16 inches in additional height.

When unloading into taller wagons, you get good at positioning machine so unloading auger swings out correctly to just clear wagon edge. If your auger doesn't have a rub rail on its underside, get one put on it ASAP. It almost eliminates auger tubing dings.

Good advice on the rub rail.
The worst thing I did several years ago was forget the auger was out on the K2. I carried it back to to the shed on the corn head.
Jordan-the wagons are DMI center dump with about 8" extensions plus the roll tarp. It is just over 9' to the top the extension.
I need to investigate the extension Dr. mentioned if I decide to get the F3.

Will be tight, but doable.
What the Dr. mentioned is not an extension, it's adding a stop to the cylinder so it doesn't swing out all the way.

I figured I would just dump on both sides. This will keep me from topping them off where they get a little top heavy. I have two and they will hold about 750 bu. together which is enough for the 7060 to take down the road.
Now just to get the combine.
Thank you all.
