Can you hit 60' bins with augers?

If I had multiple bins and a leg I would move the 20 to 25% full bins to a dry bin after they were dried and then re-fill the remaining bins 20 to 25% full. Would be around 1+ CFM per bushel and maybe 8’ to 11’ of grain depth. .
How do you plan to level it to that grain depth? It’s going to take a hell of a spreader (if they exist?) to keep up with a 16” auger, and from what I’ve seen they don’t spread that evenly in smaller bins. Hard to imagine getting the grain in a 60’ bin level enough to air dry properly without an amount of effort that would make moving the auger daily look like the easy part.

I looked into that before making my most recent post. I'm losing my enthusiasm more and more as I study this.
