The annual winter discount post card  quoted  48-12 ring stiffened , 8 inch power sweep, 10 HP fan and 10 HP unload, 65 yards cement @24 inch concrete. 72097 bushels.  No gravel or wiring.   $1.615 a bushel.  Slightly down from last year.   Good thru December.




At minimum, that size of bin needs 3x the fan capacity and I wouldn't put an 8" unload in a new bin either.

 



I know, I know, but it might get you in the door.  And you still need a way to fill it and probably stair case ladder and fill indicators, more vents and who knows what else.  Oh I forgot. Pretty soon you are out of electrical capacity and probably another 100,000 to put in a 3 phase electrical line.

 You know  what they say. If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it.
