Subject: RE: Starting a grain bin setup from scratch...please advise


We've used a air system for about 18 years and we get along great. We have a 5" system and blow about 8-900 bu max with ours. You can get a 6" system that will have a capacity of about 16-2000/ hour. With your hi capacity dryer, your needed capacity might be more than a leg system can provide.

The side draw referred to is literally a spout with a open/closed slide gate on the side of a bin. There is extra bracing inside of the bins for extra strength as the corn unloads crooked inside the bin. Most bin companies recommend that once you start emptying a bin using your side draw, you continue to empty bin out and don't re-fill it. A lot of guys re-fill the bin anyway and get away with it, but I would guess if ever there is a bin failure, the bin people could have a good excuse for not warrenteeing the bin.
