If you can anyway finance this for a few years, go with a leg and do it right! In the long run you will be better off with the bu. you are handling. I would suggest checking with your local FSA office, ask about a on farm grain facility loan. We were able to lock in to ours about 2 years ago for 2% interest.

We have been the grain pump route for wet corn movement to our wet bin.

We have also been the air pump system for our dry grain movement.

The grain pump will move more bu. per hour. The air system is a fine system if you have a surge bin to dump your dryer into to allow the air system time to move the grain.

The air system will you more versatility with being able to make bends and 90 degree turns easily.

The bends will wear alot quicker than the straight runs, and the bends closer to the air pump itself will wear quicker than the ones further away.

email is good if you have any question, like I said we have had experience with both. We now have a leg system and wish we had went that route years ago!
