The grain transfer boot is located at the bottom of the main auger tube, and
contains gearing for power transfer as well as flights for transferring grain.
The power source for the auger is a standard 1000 RPM tractor PTO. The PTO
driveline connections (both forward and reverse directions) are located on the
speed reducer gearbox above the tractor hitch.
The auger tube lift valve used to allow or shut off hydraulic pressure to the main
auger tube lift cylinders, and is located on the side of the boot (see figure below).
See section 6.1. for further information on auger controls.
Several access hatches are provided for maintenance and repair, as well as an
overflow panel on the swing-arm spout head and a clean-out hatch at the bottom
of the boot.
