Maybe you can enlighten me about the value of an overhead load out for 130 loads per year. Even if you are paying someone to babysit while a truck loads it is only 15-20 minutes for an average older bin setup which equals around 40 hours per year. Many on here hire contractors to help with trucking and they will not charge extra for that minimal wait time. We are not talking a large commercial elevator that will cycle through 500+ loads with trucks backed up if they are not loaded in less than 5 minutes. If you are talking blending, then that is easily accomplished with two augers and in my experience is really only needed less than 5% of the time on my operation. Maybe you enlighten me where the saved time and convenience of an overhead load out is worth the cost when time is not typically at a premium (like harvest). I am wanting to learn.
