ABSTRACT:
A wheel assembly extends from both of the auger braces to the ground and is adjustable by means of a jack, in order to lift the lower end of the auger assembly clear of the ground or to raise the wheel assembly when the auger assembly is being towed. A source of power drives the wheel assembly and thus supplies power to the wheel assembly when it is engaged upon the ground so that the auger can be moved by an operator. The wheel assembly is steerable by an off-standing handle thus enabling the auger assembly to be steered into position relative to a grain bin, for example, or relative to a towing vehicle when it is desired to tow the grain auger. The source of power may be hydraulically driven by the auger assembly engine in a hydraulic motor operatively connected to the wheel axle and the jack may be mechanical or hydraulic.
