Brent Avalanche 98 Series

Models 2598 and 2098 unload up to 1,000 bushels per minute, even in high-moisture grain, with a 24″ vertical auger and 20″ horizontal floor auger; models 1598, 1398, and 1198 use a 22″ vertical auger and 20″ horizontal auger for up to 850 bushels per minute. Models 2598 and 2098 add 36″ of extra vertical auger length, and models 1598, 1398, and 1198 add 25″, for greater auger height and side reach to clear taller trailers and obstacles. The 98-Series can be ordered as a left- or right-hand unload from the factory, and the pivoting unloading auger provides up to 6 ft 5 in of height adjustment and 5 ft 1 in of side reach, so the operator can lower the auger to the truck and raise it when pulling away to clear obstacles.

Exclusively designed 3/8″ thick max-edge auger flighting adds 1/4″ thick Abrasion Resistant (AR400) strips in high-volume areas for a total of 5/8″ thick flighting, extending auger life by approximately 20%. AR400 is a high-carbon alloy steel that’s harder and more durable than standard steel, and electronic balancing of the upper and lower auger flighting keeps operation smooth at all speeds.

The standard 4-way directional downspout lets the operator move it in and out and side to side for precise grain placement with minimal tractor movement, saving wear on the drivetrain. Operating the 4-way downspout, auger fold/unfold, auger pivot up/down, and flow gates requires 5 SCV hydraulic remotes on the tractor; models 2598, 2098, and 1598 come standard with a hydraulic jack that requires an additional SCV remote.

The exclusive drivetrain design combines a belt drive for the 20″ horizontal auger with a heavy-duty, direct-drive 90-degree gearbox for the vertical auger. The belt drive uses dual, four-strand belts and dual spring-loaded tensioners for long life and easy maintenance, and the floor auger can be manually disengaged if needed. A quick-couple 1000 RPM P.T.O. shaft with an overrunning cut-out clutch helps protect the driveline.
