Hello everyone...new here. Hope someone can help me out here. Don't know if I am posting this in the right forum but here goes....I've got an old auger setup for a Parker wagon that we used for fertilizer years ago. I had a new auger with bristle flighting installed to use for bean seed and the one time I used it on " Non Roundup" seed, the motor turned so slow that it took forever to fill the planter. Using a Farmall 806 D for the hydraulic power and I believe it is rated at 8 gallon per minute. Now I don't know if you have to have the tractor up to pto speed to get that gallonage. I sure wouldn't think you would need all those rpm's to turn a 4-4 1/2 " auger with bean seed. can someone help me out and tell me what size hydraulic motor I need to couple to this small auger to get the speed I need to shorten my fill time?
