Subject: RE: New Grain Bin unload Auger position?


Between Omaha and Des Moines, 7 miles South of I80

Even if your "crop" is dry, that system isn't any type of unload auger setup, that 99.99% of people would like (meaning, the sweep auger couldn't go all the way around, the bin)

 

I don't know why, they (or you) wouldn't want a flat, straight unload,(parallel with the ground) then add a 45 degree incline to it (If you don't want to pay for the additional concrete to raise the entire bin higher)

Many people, now-a-days, prefer a straight unload = it eliminates a u-joint in the 45 incline, and it can flow/unload faster, too(with a straight, flat unload) I believe it takes less HP to for the electric motor, also.

 

Old days, with straight unloads, AND with short concrete base, MANY farmers always had to dig a hole, to get their second auger, underneath the bin's unload, just to get the grain out.(nobody like that= that's why taller concrete bases are more common, today)
