Subject: RE: Grain bag unloader


Walnut Grove MN USA
I’ve got one. The bad is it takes a lot of power, vac is high maintenance, at least mine is. The bag attachment works fine but will not fit a 300 foot bag on it unless it picks up perfectly clean. I can load a truck in 16 minutes. Have to watch the vac closely cause it will suck corn in faster than it can pump it out and plugs. The vac makes it super easy to clean up. When I get down to the end I slow the PTO down, block the inlet, stick a 2 inch shop vac hose in the vent and suck up grain just like a shop vac would. Only issue I ever had with the bag attachment was with the bag roller gearbox. It was installed with the pinion drive at the top and the far bearing never got any oil and destroyed the box. I installed the new gearbox upside down from what it was and now the bearings are fully submerged in oil.
