Adding to its lineup of high quality, portable swing hopper augers, Ag Growth International Inc. (AGI) has added Westfield MKX 2 and Hutchinson-Mayrath HX2 series.

Designed for fast delivery of grain into bins or trucks, the augers are available in multiple configurations and options to choose:

The AGI Westfield MKX2 auger features an A-frame hydraulic lift system and the AGI Hutchinson-Mayrath HX2 auger features a scissor hydraulic lift system and both series are manufactured in Rosenort, Manitoba.

"The auger may be one of the most hardworking pieces of equipment on a grain operation,” said Matthew Manness, AGI Director of Global Product Management for Portable Material Handling. “They tend to run long hours at high capacities during harvest and spend most of their time exposed to the elements. So, they must be durable as well as reliable. AGI engineered these next-gen augers to extend lifespan, reduce downtime, increase serviceability, and provide high-capacity output and efficiency.”

The MKX 2 and HX2 augers feature a discharge spout that reduces horsepower requirements up to 20% while delivering fast, efficient flow of grain. The auger series have easy-to-access service points with larger access and clean-out doors on the boot to reach the internal gearboxes and bearings.

The AGI Hutchinson-Mayrath HX2 augers feature Abrasive Resistant (AR) flighting, which lasts three times longer than regular flighting.

The AGI Westfield MKX 2 augers feature Wear Edge Technology in the hopper flights, transition flight, swing tube flight, and lower flight.
