The auger tube is raised and lowered using two single-acting hydraulic cylinders
powered by the hydraulic supply of the connected tractor. The main auger tube is
raised by extending the cylinders, and lowered by allowing the cylinders to
retract.
A hydraulic ball valve mounted on the side of the grain pick-up boot controls flow
of hydraulic fluid to the lift cylinders, and with appropriate use of the hydraulic
controls on the connected tractor, allows the main auger tube to be raised,
lowered, or locked at a specific height during operation (see “Operator Controls”
on page 79).
