Just one comment on the looks of the auger. The reason Gleaner sets it on the outside I reckone is the same as most moving parts on the Gleaners, Easy Access. I really takes alot less time to remove something if you have problems with it if it is easily accessible and also gives you the benenfit of getting that auger out there aways. If it was tucked under the skin, the verticle auger would be closer to the center of gravity with in turn would make the horizontal auger longer and also weaker. I prefer the old style auger just cause it is simpler and less grain damage, but where guys need the turret style for larger grain carts and the such, I havent heard of any complaints. Only a few on the obtrusive looks of it being on the outside just as you. Its all a personal preference thing I understand. I still like the roll up type auger, its just alot simplier design than the turrets. Just my 2 cents
