Subject: RE: Tell me about Topdry bins.



Oxford County, ON
We went with a 30'x7-ring manual batch top dry when we decided to put up a dryer. Started with an auger to fill and a grain-vac to empty into existing storage. We added a leg, pits, and an overhead bin a few years later. Still running on manual batch. The biggest bottleneck for us is the time it takes to fill, but it can do approx 40t of 20% corn in ~2.5 hours with a single burner. Time to dump and refill is 45min-1hr with the size of our leg and it was about the same when we were using our 10x71 auger. My dream is to put up a 10k wet bin with a BIG wet leg to fill the dryer and run it on auto batch, and add another 40-50k storage. .
