Subject: Re: Changing pulley speed ?



I just put a 4.5" motor pulley on an unload aguger in place of a 3" pulley and only reduced my load time by a small amount. Maybe 5 minutes most on 900 bu (40 min. to 35 min.). This was on a 6" auger with a 1.5 hp motor. By the time the truck is loaded the motor is pretty warm, wnough that you won't leave your hand on it for very long.

I am pulling out the centerwell & the outer well at the same time so the auger is running full.
