Windom, MN | I don't have pics, but the neighbor I help in the fall has a setup where you don't need to move.
It's a concrete with pad a trough down the middle. The front hopper dumps in a grate with a 10" (might be a 12?) u-trough. That u-trough dumps in a chain conveyor located in a shallow pit, this is where you dump the rear hopper. That conveyor dumps into the wet leg. The auger trough is covered with wood.
It works okay. You can't have piles as it's dumping, because the corn from the u-trough dumps into the conveyor. If you fill it too full, the front auger trips a breaker and then you have a mess. This happens because the front hopper corn has nowhere to go and the auger plugs. I open the front hopper about 3/4 of a turn then manage the flow into the conveyor with the rear hopper, opening and closing it as needed to keep it from plugging. Once the front hopper is empty, then you can pile it in there.
I really don't think you dump any faster than I do at my place with a 13" swing auger, but I have to move my truck to hit both hoppers. It's convenient to not move the truck, but it's not any faster than an auger. | |
