I assumed JD made a cross auger for the 936D. Called 2 dealers and confused them both. Any suggestions.

Also searching for one to put on a 2152 case header, 45'.

cross auger

up here their also called pea augers. Must have got a bad parts man. lol.

If ur in a bind for a cross auger u can get by with a "poor man's cross auger."
I've used this before and plan on using it again this fall to straight cut standing canola.

Go buy a single continoius strap, probably around 4"- 6". Put a good twist in it and hook it to either side of header where a cross auger would go. On my JD 930D there just happendend to be holes cut out on the reel lift linkage to attach the strap so i did not need to make anchor points. Do not join 2 straps as crop material will grab the joiners.

Thank you, sounds simple. Must make a simple pinch point to hold the material against the belt? What does the twist do for it? It doesn't turn does it, like an auger?
After some more research I called Agshield. They have a 936D auger in stock. They never made a 45ft cross auger. I will have to get measurements so they can design one. Maybe get one for next year on the 2152. Still waiting on price from local dealer that sells for them.

There are aftermarket companies that make them. Deere does not.

I bought a cross auger through my JD dealer for a 936D a few years ago. It was made by Honeybee. I don't remember if had a JD part number or not. I think it was probably a Honeybee kit as I remember having some leftover parts after installing it. I think I also made some simple brackets for mounting it.

the twist acts just like a piece of auger flighting would. Unfortunately the twist will be be the correct way for one side of the draper header and the opposite way for the other side. So it will be fighting the crop a little on the wrong side of the draper header. The twist is essential. Don't know how many many twists are the perfect number but it must be twisted. If the strap is snugged/sinched up flat w/o any twist it will actually cause you more feeding problems. Finally phoned for a quote on a croos auger and they (AG Shield) wants ~$5300 plus freight. What a joke!!! What was your price quote??

Put the ag shield on the JD 936D, works great. That was about my price. Have not tried the strap yet.

Hi guys,

Ag Shield Mfg has been making cross augers for all makes and models for about 8 years.

Here is a video: Cross Auger Video | Cross Auger | Products

They cost about 70% of a JD or other manufactures header and they have the same quality paint.
- Stripper bars come standard to prevent wrapping
- Center paddles to push crop into the fingers
- Center paddles can be removed and are the only paddles that remove flush with the auger to prevent wrapping
- Quality paint finish will last as long as your header paint

You can call the factory at 800-561-0132 for a quote or any questions.

Our main combine has an agshield pea auger on it but I tried this strap idea last year with our 2nd combine in the peas.

Epic fail....

We paid a fair bit less than that for a pea auger this fall on that 630d header, but who cares?!!!!
I would've paid twice that amount the day I f###ed around with that dam strap!

That ag shield cross auger. It makes the header a pea auger. With out it, it is a piece of junk in peas.

 

[Bocephus]

Deere only makes "pea augers" for the 600D series headers, although I prefer the Ag Shield, they stretch all the way to the edge of the header. I also have an Ag shield on 936D, works great.

On a side note, does anyone have a good source for replacement reels for 936D, tubes are wore out at bushing. Deere wants $600 per tube! And there are 6 of them. Hart Carter wants $6800 for a new reel. Double ouch!
