I had a Westfield 13X72 blow over from a bin that was probably 30 feet to the peak, and the only damage to it was the standups that hold the cables were bent sideways a little. I got it set back up and went back to using it. I pulled out the four bolts that hold the trucks to the auger, rolled the auger tube over and picked it up with the loader using one chain wrapped around one spot on the auger about 2/3 the way back. When I picked it up from that one spot the auger didn't bow a bit. That was three years ago and it's augered maybe 200,000 bushels since then trouble-free. The dealer said the 13" augers are built pretty stout. The ones you are looking at are 30 feet longer so that might make a difference. Neighbors I work with have a 13X110 Westfield that they run with a 4630 Deere and I have the feeling they wouldn't want anything smaller twisting the tail in wet corn. Jim
