Portable grain augers give farms a fast and flexible way to load and unload grain across locations, all without investing in a fixed system for each bin.
Grain Handling Direct provides factory-direct pricing on field-ready auger options from AGI/Westfield, Brock, and GSI. Wheeled frames make repositioning easier, while tube-and-flight design allows for easy setup and simpler maintenance than stationary systems. One versatile auger can move grain, seed, or fertilizer, fill bins, and load trucks throughout the whole year.
Choose from compact 4-inch utility augers through 20-inch units. Models here include 6-, 8-, 10-, and 13-inch augers. The Westfield WR 6 handles up to 1,600 bushels per hour (BPH), while the W 13 reaches 7,800 BPH.
The best grain auger aligns with your required lift, bin height, load rate, available power, and portability needs. Small farms might be well served by a 6- or 8-inch auger, but bigger farms and high-volume harvest operations benefit from a 10- or 13-inch model.
Available drive configurations are electric motor drive (EMD), gas motor drive, tractor PTO, and hydraulic power. Electric grain augers work well with reliable service; PTO models suit field use with an available tractor. Gas drives provide independent power, and hydraulic options simplify positioning. WRX drive kits are available for compatible basic augers.
Horsepower needs vary by the tube diameter, auger length, operating angle, grain condition, and target capacity; longer, steeper, or higher-capacity grain augers require more power. Check the manufacturer’s chart for the exact configuration instead of sizing the motor by diameter. For length, measure the horizontal distance and vertical lift to the discharge point, then find an auger that reaches the bin safely at its approved angle.
Before each use, inspect the guards, tires, cables, fasteners, intake components, and the double reinforcement hoop where equipped. Lubricate the bearings and chains routinely. Check belts, flighting, and gearboxes throughout the season, then clean grain from the tube before storage. Shut off and lock out power before any maintenance work.
Some of the most common service items are belts, bearings, chains, sprockets, flighting, and intake parts. Shop bin parts and spouting and transfer parts or contact GHD with the model and serial number to confirm part numbers. Warranty terms vary by OEM; keep the invoice and submit claims through GHD with equipment details, photos, and a description of the issue.
For light to medium particles, a portable grain suction auger can provide another option. Some 5-meter models use an ultra-flexible hose and can move grain, cement, or fertilizer at rates up to 12,500 BPH. TD-450 augers are available with tube diameters ranging from 6 to 14 inches. For a hand-held option, choose a lightweight utility auger sized for the load and use only the manufacturer-approved drive.
Lead times depend on the model and configuration, ranging from 6–12 weeks to 9–12 months. Contact Grain Handling Direct at 218-271-8131 to request a quote or confirm compatibility.
