what is angle when raised up to the bin, we are at 59 degrees at the gear drive, the mkx 10-63 auger. went online and found 35 degress.

The AGI Westfield MKX10-63 auger has a maximum discharge clearance of 40'6" (12.3m) and a maximum reach to wheels of 30' (9.1m). Using these values, the angle can be calculated using the formula:

\[
\theta = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{\text{height}}{\text{reach}} \right)
\]

\[
\theta = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{40.5}{30} \right)
\]

\[
\theta \approx \tan^{-1} (1.35)
\]

\[
\theta \approx 53.1^\circ
\]

So, the angle of the MKX10-63 auger when raised to the bin is approximately 53.1 degrees.

    6. OPERATION SWING-AWAY GRAIN AUGER – MKX10 & HX10 6.4. Safety Discharge Door The auger is equipped with a safety discharge door which will allow grain to overflow out of the swing–away discharge spout and prevent the main auger tube from plugging. This will happen when the auger is at a steeper angle because the capacity of the auger will decrease as the tube angle increases.
