INTRODUCTION
Buhler Farm King gives you more choices to match your auger to your bins, power
sources and operating convenience. The superior scissor lift system features two one
way hydraulic cylinders with restrictor valves to control the rate of descent in the event
of hydraulic hose failure. This feature is safer than conventional cable systems. Also,
note the extra wide undercarriage and wheel tread providing better stability at greater
heights, particularly in windy conditions. This unique mechanical linkage is designed to
use less hydraulic pressure to lift the auger, even when fully loaded. The pivoting
hopper Lift arm may be flipped over for left or right transport position.The hitch is
adjustable for various tractor hitch lengths. The shut off valve is designed to keep your
auger in the position you set it.
The cross auger and main auger are driven by two internal gearboxes, easily reached
for service. Because of the large input and intake boxes, capacity is not restricted.
A 2 wheel power mover allows you to move the hopper back and forth with finger tip
control. Other advanced features include a light kit, heavy duty RPM gearbox and
hydraulic winch.
Keep this manual handy for frequent reference. All new operators or owners must
review the manual before using the equipment and at least annually thereafter. Contact
your Buhler Dealer if you need assistance, information, or additional copies of the
manual. Visit our website at www.buhler.com for a complete list of dealers in your area.
The directions left, right, front and rear, as mentioned throughout this manual, are as
seen facing in the direction of travel of the implement.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The assembly of this auger will require a 3-ton overhead crane and a forklift. Many of
the components are very heavy so they cannot be maneuvered into place without this
equipment.
1. Start the assembly by assembling the entire lift system (pages 32-34). With the
axle weldment (#7) turned as shown. Bolt on the stub axles (#58) using ¾” x
2 ¼” hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. Mount the wheel and the tire
assemblies (#48) using 5/8” x 2 ½” wheel bolts. Torque wheel bolts to 160 ft/lbs.
ALERT: Do not tighten any hardware for the rest of the lift assembly.
2. Mount the left hand undercarriage arm (#1) to the welded plate on the axle using
¾” x 2 ½” hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. Next attach the left hand lower
lift arm (#9) with a 1 ¼” x 7 1/8” pin (#11) and a ¼” x 1 ¾” cotter pin.
3. Assemble the two cylinders (#57), the two yokes (#13) and the link weldment
(#14). The yoke arm fits against the outside of the link and against the center
divider of the link. The cylinder ends fit in the open spaces left in the link. Join
parts using a 2” x 18 7/8” pin (#17) and a ¼” x 2 ½” cotter pin.
ALERT: Cylinder ports should be facing down.
4. Position the cylinder, link arm and yoke assembly up against the left hand lower
lift arm. Before attaching the right hand lower lift arm (#10) to the axle. At this
point you should lift up the ends of the cylinders until the assembly connecting
the lower lift arms is finished. With the cylinders raised, connect the two lower lift
arms with the torque tube weldment (#55) using ½” x 2” hex bolts, lock washers,
flat washers and hex nuts. Welded brackets on the torque tube must be turned
up
5. Bolt the cradle rest (#12) to the welded brackets on the torque tube using 5/8” x 3
½” hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. Connect the yoke, link and cylinder
assembly to the bottom of the lower lift using a 2 ¾” x 39” pin (#20). Fit the end
of the link between the bottom bushings on the lower lift arms. Insert the pin
through the right hand lift arm first, the link second and then the left hand arm.
Lock the ends of the pin in place with ½” x 3 ½” bolts and lock nuts.
6. Connect the upper lift arm (#8) to the upper bushings on the lower lift arms
using 2” x 9 5/8” pins (#21) and 5/16” x 3” cotter pins. These pins must be
installed with the head of the pin facing the center of the auger and the cotter pin
end facing out. Attach the ends of the yokes to the upper lift arm using a 2” x 20
½” pin (#15) and a ¼” x 2 ½” cotter pin.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d.
7. Attach the two cylinders to the welded bracket on the upper lift arm using a 2” x
17 ¼” pin (#16) and a ¼” x 2 ½” cotter pin. Attach the right hand undercarriage
arm (#2) at this point. Connect the two undercarriage arms with the tie plate (#5)
using 5/8” x 1 ¾” bolts, lock washers and hex nuts.
8. Lift the end of the lift arm assembly slightly above the undercarriage arms. Bolt
the lift arm rest tube (#6) to the top surface of the angle irons welded to the inside
of the undercarriage arms. Lower the lift arms onto the rest tube. The hardware
on the lift assembly will be tightened after the assembly is connected to the
tubing and is positioned in place.
9. After the lift assembly is complete, the main tubing is assembled (pages 27-31).
Align tubes and assemble tube number 5 (#5) to the top of number 4 (#4) using
5/8” x 1 ¾” grade 8 hex bolts, 5/8” S.A.E. flat washers and lock nuts. Two side
bridging brackets (#18) are bolted to the sides of each pipe ring connection at the
same time that the pipe rings are bolted together. Align the flighting with the
couplers at the ends and bolt together using a ¾” x 4” bolt and lock nut. Next,
assemble tube number 3 (#3) to tube number 2 (#2). Finally, bolt tube number 1
(#1) to tube number 2.
10. Pages 35-39. Couple the 12 7/8” drive shaft (page 35, #11) to the bottom end of
the flighting using a ¾” x 4” hex bolt and lock nut. Make sure the shaft fits into
the RPM gearbox (#26) before bolting to the flighting. Insert a 3/8” x 7 3/8” key
(#12) into the drive shaft and slide the input box assembly (#1) onto the drive
shaft. Line up the flange bolt holes on the input box with the pipe ring and bolt
together using 5/8” x 1 ¾” grade 8 hex bolts, S.A.E. flat washers and lock nuts.
The drive shaft is held on by inserting a 5/8” x 1 ¾” bolt, lock washer and a ½”
thick x 3” flat washer (#24) at the end of the shaft. Insert splined drive shaft (#84)
into the outer coupler on the gearbox and attach PTO shaft (#85).
ALERT: There are two holes on the top stub shaft for cotter pin installation on
the top flighting which should allow for a wide range of adjustment.
11. Pages 27-31. Attach all the bridging yokes. The main bridging yoke (#11) bolts
to the welded brackets on tube numbers using 5/8” x 1 ¾” hex bolts, lock
washers, flat washers and hex nuts. Attach the two braces (#12) to the main
yoke using ½” x 1 ½” hex bolt, lock washers and hex nuts. Tube number 1 has a
74” long yoke (#9) with a 34” brace (#10) bolted on using the same hardware.
Tube number 3 uses a 103” long yoke (#13) with a 43” brace (#14) also with the
same hardware. The final bridging yoke bolts to tube number 4 which is a 60”
long yoke (#16) with a 27 ¾” brace (#17) also using the same hardware.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d.
12. Pages 27-31. Using an overhead hoist, put a sling around tube number 1 and lift
so the bottom end is raised about 12 inches. Attach the shorter top bridging
cable first (#78). This cable goes from just below the undercarriage pivot plate
on tube number one, across the main bridging yoke and to the top end of tube
number 3. Bolt the 2” wide cable yokes (#83) to the top end of each cable using
¾” x 2 ½” hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. Bolt the yokes to the cable
brackets welded to tube number 3 with the same hardware. Use the bottom hole
in the yoke if possible. The other holes can be used if the cable stretches after a
few years. The long top bridging cable (#79) goes from the lower part of tube
number 1, across the main bridging yoke and to the center of tube number 5.
Use the same hardware as the short cables. The side bridging cables (#77) run
across the four side bridging brackets on each side of the pipe rings from tube
number 1 to tube number 5. Use the 1 ½” wide cable yokes (#84) at the top end
of these cables. The hardware for these cables is ½” x 1 ¾” hex bolts, lock
washers and hex nuts. The top bridging cables are tightened using the threaded
rods at the bottom end until the tubes bow up a few inches. Tension the side
cable evenly so tubes are straight left and right. Tighten cable clamps after
tensioning is complete.
ALERT: On yokes where the cable clamps hold two cables, do not use the cast
part of the cable clamp.
13. Put a sling around the tubing at a point just above the main bridging yoke. Raise
the top end of the tube assembly high enough to fit the discharge spout
(page 28, #82) over the spout opening. Bolt on spout using 3/8” x 1” hex bolts,
lock washers and hex huts.
14. Tension the flighting using the crown nut at the top of the flighting. Snug up this
nut and then give it about an extra 1/4 turn. Do not over tighten. You only want
the weight of the flighting to hang from the top bearing.
15. Pages 32-34. Bolt the undercarriage connector plates (#41) to the welded
brackets on the sides of tube number 1. Use 5/8” x 1 ¾” hex bolts, lock washer
and hex nuts on the top 2 holes. Flat head bolts on the bottom 2 bolts. Lift the
tube assembly high enough to roll the lift assembly underneath centered on the
tubing. You will need an overhead crane with a 3 ton capacity to lift the tube
assembly. The holes at the end of the undercarriage arms must line up with the
holes in the connector plates. Slide a 3” o.d. x 24 ½” long tube (#3) through all
four holes and lock in place with 1 ½” wide collars (#4), ½” x 4 ½” hex bolts, lock
washers and hex nuts. Connect the upper lift arm to the bottom of the main
bridging yoke using a 2” x 22 ½” pin (#18). Lock in place with collars (#19),
½” x 3 ¼” hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d.
16. Lift up the tubing assembly so lift assembly is a few inches above the cradles.
Center the upper lift arm on the cradle. This will require a forklift. Tighten all lift
arm and undercarriage hardware while the tube assembly is raised. Lower back
into cradle when hardware has all been tightened.
17. Using 3/8” x ¾” sq. hd. set screws and a 3/8” x 1 ½” key mount the u-joint
(page 35, #98) on the intake auger gearbox. Position the u-joint by placing a
straight edge along the bottom of the pipe ring on the intake auger top box
(page 35, #67) and measuring exactly 2 ½” from the top of the straight edge to
the center of the u-joint as shown in drawing.
18. Pages 35-39. Lift the intake auger assembly onto the input box (#1). The
splines on the U-joint must slide onto the splines on the input box gearbox. This
will require a hoist. Let the ring sit on the input box without forcing it to the exact
center if it is not positioned perfectly. Flip open the intake auger top door (#77)
and bolt on the ring using 3/8” x 1 ½” hex bolts. A 3/8” (10 gauge) flat washer
goes under the input box top cover. The 1 ¼” o.d. flat washers should be 1/8” to
3/16” from touching the edge of the ring. This is done to prevent side pressure
on the u-joint. Four 2” x 6 ½” plates (#33) act as a ring holder. Tighten bolts
using 3/8” lock washers and hex nuts. The intake auger should turn freely
around the input box.
13
16” Backsaver Auger
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d.
ALERT: If the intake auger is removed for repair or replacement, the bolt
coupling the flighting to the intake auger gearbox must be replaced when the
flighting is replaced. Not replacing this bolt could cause failure of the hopper
flighting.
19. Using a 3/8” x 1 ½” key and 3/8” x ¾” sq. hd. set screws, join the hopper flighting
and the intake auger flighting at the universal joint (page 36, #48). Join the
hopper and intake auger using two ¾” x 1 5/8” bolts and lock nuts. A flat washer
goes on the outside only. Parts must swivel freely after bolting together. Check
that the cross on the u-joint is in line with the two pivot bolts.
The cover (page 36, #63) bolts to the front edge of the hopper using ¼” x ¾” hex
bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. The cover is held down by the cover rod
(page 35, #64) which is pushed through the clevises welded to the intake auger
and held in place with a 3/16” x 1 ½” cotter pin. Check that all the set screws on
the u-joint have been tightened and that the u-joint has grease before closing the
cover.
ALERT: Never run the auger without this cover bolted on. The yoke center must
align with the pivot holes after assembly.
20. Pages 36-39. Bolt the 7” wide rubber edging (#59) supplied to the top edge of
the hopper using ¼” x 1” hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. Use 1” wide
strips on the sides of the hopper (#90) and on the outside edge (#88). These
strips fit on the inside of the hopper and help keep the rubber from tearing. The
ends of the rubber strips are joined using connector plates (#91) with ¼” x 1” hex
bolts, flat washers, lock washers and hex nuts.
21. The lift boom (page 22, #20) is bolted to a welded bracket on top of tube number
1 about 136” from the bottom pipe ring using 5/8” x 1 ¼” hex bolts, lock washers
and hex nuts. The intake auger lift cable (page 22, #85) has a safety hook at one
end. Thread the other end of the 3/8” cable around the pulley at the end of the
lift boom and then around a cable pulley in the bracket which swivels at the back
of the lift boom. Bolt the hydraulic winch (page 22, #89) and solenoid assembly
to the welded winch bracket near the bottom of tube number 1 using ½” x 2” hex
bolts, flat washers, lock washers and hex nuts. NOTE: The end of the lift cable
must be run through the winch guard (page 22, #93) before attaching the cable to
the winch. Bolt on the winch guard using ½” x 1 ½” hex bolts, lock washers and
hex nuts. There are flat irons with two holes welded near the front on the sides
of the hopper. Hook the lift cable in the upper hole on the far side of the hopper
so the hopper will turn open end toward the auger. This is the standard transport
position. The safety chain is attached to the loop at the top end of the hopper.
This chain should always be attached when transporting the auger. The lift boom
can be used on either side of the auger. The lower hole on the hopper bracket is
used for clean out only.

16” Backsaver Auger
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d.
ALERT: When the intake auger is raised from working position, the lift cable is
hooked into the loop at the top of the hopper. The open end of the hook must be
turned toward the hopper. The intake auger could detach and fall if the main
auger is raised with the hook turned the other way.
22. Pages 40 & 41. The hydraulic line on the auger must be coupled at the pipe
rings between tube number 1 and tube number 2 using a 63” hydraulic hose
(#21). Screw a 90 degree elbow (#25) into the ball valve (#26) and connect this
assembly to the bottom of the hydraulic line. Attach a 120” hydraulic hose (#24)
to this elbow. The other end of the hose connects to the tractor.
23. Connect the 8’-6” hydraulic hose (page 40, #15) with the assembled 12” lines
and fittings from the base of the cylinders to the hydraulic line on the main auger.
All fittings should be taken apart and sealed with Teflon tape before tightening.
Install the two vent plugs (page 32, #42) in the cylinders.
ALERT: The flow control valve (page 40, #16) regulates the lowering of the
auger to avoid damage which could be caused by lowering the auger too quickly.
Arrow on the flow control should be pointing toward the 6 foot hose. Be sure that
the valve is open approximately 3 ½ turns before raising the auger to full height
or the auger will not lower.
24. Pages 40 & 41. Assemble the fittings into the two spool valve assembly (#1).
There are two #12 MORB to #8 MJIC adaptors (#7) in the side ports. With the
valve turned as shown on page 31, fit two #10 MORB to #8 MJIC adaptors (#8)
in the right hand ports on top of the valve. The left hand ports which control the
mover use adaptors with a restrictor valve (#28).
25. Pages 40 & 41. Assemble the fittings into the hydraulic motors (#10). The upper
port on the motor uses a #12 MORB straight adaptor (#7) while the lower port
uses a 90 degree #12 MORB adaptor (#6). The two straight adaptors are joined
using a 79” hose (#3). Two 21 foot hoses (#2) attach to the 90 degree elbows on
the hydraulic motor. They run up between the motor and the hopper and along
the intake auger tube till the right side ports, on top of the valve (as shown).
These lines are clamped down to the top of the intake auger tube using hose
holders (page 35, #31) with 3/8” x 1” hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. The
hopper mover is controlled by the valve handle which lines up with the two ports
the hoses are attached to in the valve.
ALERT: The hopper mover may move quite quickly with some tractors. Be sure
everyone is clear of the area when using the mover.
