Hi, Just wondering If the auger needs to be fully extended to unload? It is tall enough for a 200 bushel wagon all the way extended but I bought a 400 bushel wagon and It is pretty tall. If I retract the auger it has a higher reach but Im not sure if It is meant to do that? It is a hydraulic fold auger. Thanks in advance Nick

If positioned perfectly a K could dump into our 350 bushel wagons. ------------- 8030 and 8050MFWD, 7580, 3 6080's, 160, 7060, 175, heirloom D17, Deere 8760 |

| Take an 1 1/2" pipe and cut it 1 1/2" long, then cut it in half length ways. Use a hose clamp to put it back together on the unload auger cylinder. This will give you about another foot of unload height. Won't hurt anything. |

I did the pipe on the cylinder. It raised the end of auger at least 12 inches. I can now unload without hitting my nephew's trailers. rrhead(SD) ------------- 2 WDs,WD45,D-14,D-17,D-19D,180,7020,6080FWA,6080 2wd, 6080 2wd(cab),8050FWA,8550,4W-305,Massey 8250.

| If you don't want to replace the ujoint, better extend all the way. If the ujoint clatters at all, it won't long. MACK |

| My F2 has a stop on back side of swivel.I added a new one a little short of original.Raised it about 6in.Just clears the bows on my hopper bottom if both are on flat ground.I almost never unload full throttle,usually 1/2-2/3. |

| What model did the pipe on the cylinder trick work on? I would like to get some more height on our l series combines but either don't understand the trick or don't think it would work on an l |

| when I needed extra height for my "K", when dumping into the semi, I had 2- 2x12's nailed together about 2 ft long. layed it on the ground and drove up on it with the left drive wheel. worked well! |

Okay, I should be good then, It just looked low when I was dumping in the small wagon. Maybe my depth perception isn't too good. lol. I wont find out for a few days until this rainy weather stops so I can finish my beans. Jason 82: Nice soybeans, I wish mine were running 65 bushel an acre. How many acres do you run through that combine?

| What is your 400 bushel wagon? We used to dump in J&M 385s with an F3. Picked the auger up some never hurt anything. |

If we didn't do that on our L3s we would never get them dumped. If you raise it to high it should shut off. ------------- Education doesn't make you smart, it makes you educated. |
