Simple system. Get storage to go with it. No stirators! Have 2 24ft Stormor Ezee Dry Bins. They are batch dryers but it works for me. Mine are in line with a 3400 bu wet bin and a Hutchinson Grain pump system to fill and empty bins.
Having dryers "wway up there" is not an issue. Dont need to take em down unless after 40 yrs you want to repaint them. Every thing is serviceable. Motor brgs can be replaced "up there"
Some years a guy doesnt need a dryer, so in this case you can still use the bin. If you buy a separate dryer unit, it jus sits there, not being used some years.
My dad put one up in 1973, I still use it. It's not a BTO dryer but there is very little to go wrong. Efficiency goes up if you have warm grain below while drying above. Also, the last dried batch of the year, drop it and refill the drying chamber with dried corn. It will keep rusted out bin panels from happening and spoiled grain. |
