PLANETARY DRIVE AUGERS

Overview

Enhancements made to John Deere augers better meet your expectations of durability and reliability by increasing performance and reducing downtime.

Benefits

• Hydraulic motors have a higher rated operating pressure.
• Large, durable motor shaft seal.
• Come standard with hex driveshafts that allow the bit to be driven by the shaft instead of a retaining pin.

Overview

John Deere augers will enable you to increase efficiency while decreasing stress on your machine.

Benefits

• Heavy-duty gear design for long life and minimal maintenance.
• Planetary gearbox housing this brings the planetary gear set closer to the motor.
• Gearbox with updated input shaft is a more durable design.

Additional details

• Number of planetary gears in PA30B gearbox increased from three to five.
• Max torque rating for PA30B increased from 4166 lb-ft to 4500 lb-ft (due to new gear box design and increase in gear reduction).
• Required hydraulic oil-flow rate is:
  • 23–64 L/min (6–17 gpm) for PA15B.
  • 57–114 L/min (15–30 gpm) for PA30B.
• Required high-flow hydraulic oil-flow rate is 106–160 L/min (28–42 gpm) for PA40.

Overview

John Deere augers operate efficiently and require less maintenance to save you time.

Benefits

• Reverse rotation enables quick backout when obstructions are encountered. This also helps shed dirt from the auger when working in wet conditions.
• Spring-loaded, double-lipped seals guard against contamination.
• All moving components run in oil for constant lubrication.
• Sealed drive units with all moving components oil lubricated.
