Flex-end™ Technology
Ag Shield's patent-pending Flex-End™ design allows for our cross augers to operate on both rigid and flex draper headers. The auger is connected to the header through a multi-cord bonded-rubber joint that allows for the seamless movement of the auger as it follows the movement of the header.
Minimal Maintenance
The Flex-End™ Cross Auger also features a center chain coupler. This is in place of the traditional u-joint or rubber mount seen on many competing augers. The chain coupler negates the need for grease and minimizes the maintenance that generally comes with high-wear parts like u-joints and rubber mounts.
Maximum Flow
Each Ag Shield Cross Auger comes standard with our patented Angled Stripper Bar. The bar is situated just below the auger and effectively directs crop from the header to the auger for a quicker feed. The angle of Ag Shield's bar is not 90° (as some competing bars are), this is to ensure that the bar actually streamlines the crop's path to the auger instead of keeping it away form the auger. This feature allows Ag Shield Cross Augers to provide a faster flow than any other auger on the market.
Eliminate Wrapping
The center paddles of an Ag Shield Cross Auger feature a swept-back design with a 45° angle. Unlike some competing augers with 90° paddles, the 45° angle allows the paddles to "unload" the crop by pushing it away from the auger and into the drum fingers, reducing the risk of the crop wrapping on the auger.
Full Coverage
Our cross augers span the full width of your header, allowing for lodged crop to be taken from the very ends of the header to the center auger.
