Subject: Grain leg capacity


Lookin at buying a bin that the leg has to go with it. Looks in ok shape externally, cups and belt are about shot. Might work to fill bins out of the dryer. 9”widex7”deep on each side of leg, I think 8” centers on cups, 50ft tall. what kind of capacity would it have?

May help from down spout size
8” max about 3000 bu per hour
10” 5000 bu/hr

I’m guessing from your cup size and spacing your leg 3000 bu per hour

Need to know cup size


9” wide X 7” deep 8” spacing
I know buckets are different depths

I’m thinking we have 9” X 7 had steel buckets changed to plastic lost 500 bu an hour
We use it to fill dryer so doesn’t matter
Does 2200 now

I would agree with Dan and others for something around a 3000 bu per hr rating ,that’s rating ,
however for me that exact setup never came close to filling a semi in 20 minutes, not close and the big issue with a leg is you can’t just put on a bigger motor and change the pulley size and gain any bph, in fact it’ll go down , unlike an auger or double run both can be sped up to a point and claim an increase in bph .There’s been several of that exact size galvanized 70 and 80s model legs cruppled up and hauled away around here in the last few years and I for one sure didn’t hate to see them go , actually have a 110 ft tall one and all the spouts, bins ,utroughs, that go with it need extracted and hauled away right now , might could use the little bins if that crap was all drug off. Just my opinion

I may have enough usable belt and cups for that size leg. Mine may be 5 inches deep?

I’m thinking we have 9” X 7 had steel buckets changed to plastic lost 500 bu an hour
We use it to fill dryer so doesn’t matter
Does 2200 now

I took the 9 x 7 to be external trunk dimensions.

That would be a pretty small leg with probably 6" spouting

Okay. Without going to measure, that's about the size of the one I have taking corn from the dryer.
