Subject: RE: New Grain Bin unload Auger position?



SE Idaho
I guess I am the only dumb one on this site, but we have all our bins set up this way. Just put 4 new ones up last year like this. Use one sweep in all 9 bins, same take out auger in all 9 bins. Cap the take out auger hole when not in use and haven't had any problems with moisture. We do have a vent tube laying on top of the concrete floor that comes out when we sweep the bins. Guess I have been doing it wrong all my life but it works on our farm. Guessing they are going to pour the floor with the bottom ring in the concrete too. Better get ready for some flack about this method too. It works for our small bins. 4 -14700 bu, 5-12500 bu

P.S. If they are going to pour the floor with the bottom ring in it be sure to lay down some gravel and pack it tight. This will help keep the floor from cracking. First few bins we put up Dad opted to save the money on the gravel and the floors show it in a few places.
