The grain truck I bought is just under 8' tall over the bed sides. I measured and I don't think my unloading All-Crop 60 auger will clear unless I ramp up the bin-side wheel of the combine on some boards and maybe have the truck parked in a low spot.

I have another 60 for parts. If I cut up the parts combine auger and tube, and attached say 1-2' of them to my better combine, I think I'd clear. Is there anything special about extending an auger like this? Just figure out a way to weld/pin the two augers together and bolt the tubes up somehow?

That would be an ambitious project! Keeping everything straight so the flighting doesn't rub the tube would be the hardest part.

DennisA (IL) posted pictures of what sounds like an AC attachment for this, but the pictures are long gone:

I think this was his for sale and he made a nice video of it. He mentions the auger extension around 3:03:

This attachment is not mentioned in either of my All-Crop manuals, but they could be too old. I would love to have details about the auger extension attachment if anyone has one or has installed one in the past.

Thanks for posting the links, great videos of the nicest 60 you will ever see. Someone took really good care of that machine.

Years ago, New Idea Uni’s had a model or two of their Combines that had an unloading auger that went straight out the back of the grain bin, that was long enough to dump into a trailing gravity box hitched to the combine. That auger was maybe, 6”? folded manually in the middle. We didn’t use very often, just to use when opening up the couple 100+ acre fields, we had. It was not fast, it enabled you make a complete round trip before the grain bin overflowed.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.
