Why is my Westfield MKX130-94 Farm Equipment auger not turning?
- D
  Denise ThomasAug 5, 2025
  The auger might not be turning due to several reasons: it could be plugged or obstructed, in which case you should identify and remove the obstruction. Alternatively, a bearing or the gearbox may have seized, requiring you to identify and replace the bearing, or fix/replace the gearbox. A chain could be broken, requiring repair or replacement. Another possibility is that the gearbox coupler bolt or the PTO shear bolt is broken or missing, and you'll need to replace the bolt.

What to do if my Westfield Farm Equipment auger is noisy?

  If your Westfield Farm Equipment auger is making unusual noise, it could be due to several factors. There might be an obstruction in the auger, which requires identification and removal. Check if the flighting shaft bolts are loose or damaged, and tighten or replace them as needed. The auger shaft could be bent or the flighting damaged, necessitating repair or replacement of the shaft or flighting. A worn bearing or low gear oil level in the gearbox can also cause noise; repair or replace the bearing, or inspect the gearbox for damage and add oil if no damage is found. Lastly, a misaligned tube could be the culprit, requiring adjustment of the truss cables.

Why Westfield MKX130-94 auger will not raise or lower?
- C
  Christopher BakerAug 13, 2025
  If your Westfield Farm Equipment auger isn't raising or lowering, check for a closed hydraulic valve and open it. Inadequate hydraulic pressure could be the issue; adjust the pressure or use an alternate hydraulic supply. A damaged cylinder, missing or broken cylinder pin, or a hydraulic system leak could also be the cause, requiring you to fix or replace the cylinder, replace the cylinder pin, or identify and repair the leak. Finally, an obstruction to the auger's movement could be the problem; identify and clear any obstructions.

What to do if Westfield MKX130-94 auger will not stay in elevated position?

  If your Westfield Farm Equipment auger isn't staying in the elevated position, it could be due to a leak in the auger's hydraulic cylinder or fittings. Identify and repair the leak. Another potential cause is a leak in the tractor hydraulics; close the hydraulic valve to isolate the cylinder from the tractor hydraulics.

Why is the material augering rate low on my Westfield MKX130-94 Farm Equipment?
- S
  Steven MarshallAug 22, 2025
  A low material augering rate in your Westfield Farm Equipment can stem from several issues. The tractor PTO speed might be too slow, so increase the engine rpm. Check for inadequate material flow from the truck or hopper and increase the flow. A restricted flow into the auger hopper due to obstructions on the grating can also cause this; clear any obstructions. Note that unloading rates are for dry grain, so if the material is too wet or heavy, this could be the reason. Lastly, worn flighting can reduce the rate; repair or replace as required.
