Abstract
A dual auger grain cart includes a horizontal auger assembly, a vertical auger assembly, and a drive assembly operatively connected to the horizontal and vertical auger assemblies. The horizontal and vertical auger assemblies each include an auger shaft and flighting disposed on the auger shaft. The drive assembly includes a first member operatively connected to the horizontal auger shaft, a second member operatively connected to the vertical auger shaft, and a power input device operatively connected to the first and second drive members to drive rotation of the horizontal and vertical auger shafts. The arrangement of the first and second members allow the longitudinal axes of the horizontal and vertical auger shafts to be coplanar and the vertical auger flighting to extend at least in part below the longitudinal axis of the horizontal auger shaft.
