Abstract: An auger assembly for a farm implement, in which the auger assembly includes a first auger section having a first auger shaft that rotates in a conveying direction about a longitudinal axis of the first auger section and a second auger section having a second auger shaft that rotates about a longitudinal axis of the second auger section. The auger assembly includes a first auger coupling portion that includes a drive hub and a lobe. The auger assembly includes a second auger coupling portion that includes a sleeve, which receives the drive hub such that the drive hub is rotatably engaged with the sleeve. The auger assembly includes a drive pin secured to the second auger coupling portion and a latch arm that pivots in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the second auger section between an engaged position and a disengaged position.

Abstract: A high-throughput auger includes a receiving end auger portion that has a first shaft. The receiving end auger portion also includes a first screw having a first pitch and a first diameter, and a first housing portion of a second diameter. The auger also includes a main auger portion coupled to a discharge end of the receiving end auger portion. The main auger portion includes a second shaft, a second screw having a second pitch and a third diameter, and a second housing of a fourth diameter. The first diameter is greater than the third diameter and the second pitch is greater than the first pitch.
