1. INTRODUCTION WHEATHEART - X-SERIES 13" AUGERS
1.1. OVERVIEW X130-74, X130-84, X130-94
830787 R2
1.1. OVERVIEW
X13 augers are equipped with standard features that include a hydraulically
controlled main auger tube lift, a low-profile grain hopper (left or right side
operation), service access doors, and a PTO driveline for auger power.
Available option kits include:
• Hydraulic Winch
• Hydraulic Power Swing for Hopper
• Electric Power Swing for Hopper
• Right Angle Drive
• 540 RPM PTO Reverser
• 1000 RPM PTO Drive and Reverser
1.1.1. AUGER POWER SOURCE
The power source for the auger is a standard 540 RPM tractor PTO (see Figure
1.1). An optional Right-Angle PTO Drive kit allows the auger to be powered by a
tractor positioned at a 90 degree angle to the auger (Figure 1.2).
An optional 1000 RPM PTO Drive kit provides a speed reducer that allows use
with 1000 RPM PTO tractors, as well as reverser capability that is used to rotate
the auger flightings in the reverse direction (transferring grain in the auger tube
back to the hopper).
An optional 540 RPM Reverser kit provides a similar reverser capability for
540 RPM PTO connections.

PTO driveline connection (including connection to the optional 540 RPM PTO
Reverser and 1000 RPM PTO Drive) is provided on the back of the boot, above
the tractor hitch (and hitch jack).
The ball valve used to raise or lower the main auger tube is located on the side of
the boot (see figure below), as is the manual winch used to raise and lower the
grain hopper (see Section 6.2. Operator Controls on page 90 for further infor-
mation on auger controls).
Several access hatches are provided for maintenance and repair (the swing arm
spout head access hatch is shown below), as well as an overflow panel on the
swing-arm spout head and a clean-out hatch at the bottom of the boot.
1.1.3. GRAIN HOPPER
The low-profile grain hopper is designed to be rolled into position to receive grain
for transfer through the boot to the auger discharge spout. Ground clearance can
be adjusted by raising or lowering the position of the hopper wheel axles.
The grain hopper must be lifted and secured for transport using the hopper lift
arm, winch (hydraulic or manual operation, according to the installed option), and
transport chain and hook (see Figure 1.5).
The grain hopper provides service to the side of the auger that it is installed on,
but the hopper, lift arm, and winch can be quickly reconfigured to install the
hopper on the other side if required.
Do not approach, open or close the maintenance hatch located on the transition
between the swing are tube and the hopper unless all power to the auger is
locked out.
DANGER
Rotating Auger Hazard
Contact with rotating flighting will result in
amputation or severe laceration.
DO NOT operate with guards removed or
modified.
Keep hands and feet away from rotating
auger.
Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
DO NOT wear loose-fitting clothing or items
that could become caught.
Shut off and lock out the power source before
unplugging or cleaning.

1.1.4. AUGER TUBE HYDRAULIC LIFT
The auger tube is raised and lowered using two single-acting hydraulic cylinders
powered by the hydraulic supply of the connected tractor. The main auger tube is
raised by extending the cylinders, and lowered by allowing the cylinders to
retract.
A hydraulic ball valve mounted on the side of the grain pick-up boot controls flow
of hydraulic fluid to the lift cylinders, and with appropriate use of the hydraulic
controls on the connected tractor, allows the main auger tube to be raised,
lowered, or locked at a specific height during operation (see “Operator Controls”
on page 90).

hydraulic leak. Do not use hands. Use a piece of wood or cardboard as a
backstop to isolate and identify a leak.
• If injured by a concentrated
high-pressure stream of
hydraulic fluid, seek medical
attention immediately. Seri-
ous infection or toxic reaction
can develop from hydraulic
fluid piercing the skin surface.
2.5. PTO DRIVELINE SAFETY
• To prevent serious injury or death:
• Keep body, hair, and clothing away from rotating PTO driveline.
• Do not operate equipment unless all driveline, tractor, and equipment shields
are in place and in good working order.
• Make certain the driveline shields turn freely on driveline.
• Make certain the driveline is securely attached at both ends.
• Do not exceed operating speed of 540 rpm.
• Keep u-joint angles small and equal. Do not exceed maximum recommended
length for PTO driveline.
• Do not exceed manufacturer’s recommended operating length.
• Set the tractor brake and block wheels on the tractor and the implement to
insure proper spacing of the PTO shaft at all times.
• Make sure driveline is properly secured to prevent damage during transport.
2.6. TIRE SAFETY
• Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim
can produce an explosion that may result in serious injury or death.
• Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and
experience to do the job.
• Have a qualified tire dealer or repair service perform required tire mainte-
nance.
• When replacing worn tires, make sure they meet the original tire specifica-
tions. Never undersize the replacement tire.
• Do not weld to the tire rim with the tire mounted on the rim. This action may
cause an explosion which could result in serious injury or death.
• Inflate tires to the manufacturer's recommended pressure.
