Stayner, Ontario
Lay your setup for driving straight in from the road to unload into a pit that feeds a conveyor to the elevator 140ft or taller leg. Place your 4 bins around the leg . go with 60 ft dia bins . These will hold approx 225,000 bu each. (100 ft high)
Going with larger bins will save on the number of down pipes, unloading augers and fans. Plus save on wiring and electrical components.
A truck scale is handy to have allowing one to weigh in their crop plus weigh out when loading trucks. Have at least one overhead which can be used to feed a dryer or load dry grain into a truck.
Go with a 7500 bu or larger leg. The yields will be increasing so go large now on the bins and leg.
Good luck.
You will need a 400 amp 600 volt service
In the future you will also be going from 6 row to 12 row machines.
