Abstract: A step construction for an auger tube comprises a clamp which clamps around the auger tube at a position spaced from the hopper at the lower end of the auger tube. A flat step member is pivotally coupled to the clamp and includes a leg at an end remote from the clamp with a leg having a concave lower surface for sitting over the upper surface of the auger tube. The angle of the step relative to the auger tube can be adjusted by sliding the leg up and down within a sleeve attached to the step. The step can thus be readily attached to the auger tube and provides a secure footing for the user to stand on the auger tube to observe operation of the material within the hopper.
