central - east central Minnesota - | 830rnvk - 11/8/2014 11:46 I've seen bulk tote bags, never used them. I'm getting some wheat seed in next week, and part of the order is in the bulk totes. I feel that dumping into a tender then filling the drill would be best; but that will not be an option. I was told the tote can be dumped straight into the drill, but I'm not too sure on the idea; I've heard horror stories of not being able to shut the spout and the whole tote gets dumped. My questions are: is there a good way to dump into the drill directly from the tote?...(I will be using a box drill). Any good ways of shutting the spout in order to not empty the whole tote? Totes are not made for metering out the grain - safely, without some apparatuses to work with the tote . . . Be very careful around totes and don't stack them, if they fall over (gravity) someones going to get hurt or DIE (been too many injuries and deaths from totes) the above mentioned pallet works, BUT - you need a frame stout enough to support the tote/bag, as you dump. It would likely work best to improvise and make something up, like a large metal funnel, with support for the tote and some type of gate valve (like the back of a straight truck would have) that would allow you to open the bag and set it in the funnel then use pallet forks to position it over the drill to control the flow and fill. |
