Yes, 7 gpm.I knew that the planteary type would be out of my price range to build. and I wasn't opposed to constructing a gear reduction, but I looked at the models that don't have either, just because they would be simple and cheaper to build although they might not work as well. I then pulled the numbers off a few different types and went and looked them up. Thats about it, Then I found a motor that was even slower than those. I take it that the Flow on the Aux for your unit is 7 gpm?
I too was going to build an auger drive, but I was thinking chain reduction (not my first choice, but budget was pushing me in that direction). Tazza sent me some pictures of his for reference.
I was into the calculations and was starting to pick out parts when I found the bevel drive auger attachement for $1500 complete, brand new, from a local equipment dealer.
That sold me. They delivered it and threw in a new, double flight, 9" auger for that price, too. I have since picked up a 6" auger, and I built up a 12" out of an old mangled one that my dad's neighbour was throwing out.
