Small town elevator I expect to only dump a hundred, then slow. But they used to dump train grain cars.
I have no intention of to haul from field to my bin. But will be watching drive over pits. Saw some go cheap a year ago. Considered one few moths ago. But 3 phase, dual 7.5 hp. *I considered pulley change, common mount single phase 10 hp*. Possibly slow rate into pit…
