Full-Length Upper Cross Auger A performance option worth considering for anyone harvesting big bushy, high-volume crops, like canola, oilseed rape, peas, and mustard, is the Upper Cross Auger. The auger keeps bushy crops on the draper as they move to the center of the header, where twin pitch flighting actively and aggressively drives the crop down onto the feed auger. This option runs the entire length of the header and is available in all sizes. HEADS-FIRST FEEDING INTO COMBINE
