2017 Meridian Manufacturing Inc. HD8
There’s nothing conventional about our Conventional augers. They’re constructed as durable, versatile pieces of equipment that can handle almost any situation. Its frame design allows for better weight distribution and increased stability while reliable, heavy-duty parts deliver unparalleled performance. In fact, when you compare these farm augers with the competition, they’re about as unconventional and industry leading as you can get.
Features may include:- Head End: Our head end features induction hardened sprockets and heavy-duty roller bearings for unparalleled performance and reliability
 
- Lift: High performance brake winches provide easy raising and lowering of the auger.
 
- Gear box: Heavier gear boxes feature oil baths, forged steel gears and quality roller bearings.
 
- Guards: Our guards on all moving parts make maintenance and repairs simple and reduce the risk of an accident.
 
- Flighting: We roll form the flighting directly onto the shaft to create a long lasting product that is balanced to run smooth and quiet. That means less wear and tear and an increased lifespan on every auger we manufacture. We offer continuous flighting on all models up to 53 feet in length. For longer models, a spline coupler is used for the connection to allow flexibility within the flighting shaft.
 
- Intake: Not just the fastest loading auger, but also the safest. Shielded auger intake for safer operation.
