Abstract: A system for the control of an auger, such as for conveying agricultural particulate materials, is disclosed in which a discharge spout is attached to the discharge end of the auger tube, the discharge spout is both freely movable and adjustable in length, and the rotation of the auger may be controlled from a location on and adjacent to the discharge end of the discharge spout. Such control is accomplished by an electrical switch which controls a normally open hydraulic solenoid valve for in the alternative selectively bypassing or porting the hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic motor of the auger.
