If you build a dirt ramp outside of the bin and use a chuck of culvert to shoot the grain back to the middle a 16X125 will hit a 60X16 (150K) bin but I would not recommend doing it. I think a 16X14 ring should work easy enough with a 125ft auger. I'm Currently hitting 48X14 ring (85K bu) bins with a 13X114 auger and its not to bad. Had to move a little extra dirt outside but not much. I would go as tall as you can and put side draws in they are really nice to load out of. The last time I got a rough bid I think a 10,000 bu/hr leg, tower, with 1,200 bu gravity dump pit and down spouting to 4 bins your probably looking at 750K. I would consider putting bins in a row and using a permanent double run up and across the tops to fill them. Kind of the middle ground between leg and auger.
