Subject: RE: Top Dry grain dryers



NW Iowa
First one went up in '76. 9 1/2 ring 30'. Bought a second one used in 2003. Made it an 11 1/2 ring 27' They dry cheaper as the bin underneath fills up. Less exposed sidewall to radiate off the heat. Agree with everything previous posters have said. Simple. No parts to wear out except on burner and fan. Burner and fan are in the air where rodents aren't a problem. I always go into the drying chamber when filling and make sure the corn is 1 ring deep at the sidewall and the rings are filled to the top. In drier corn they are there to keep the corn from getting too deep at the sidewall. In wet corn the opposite is the problem. Never have a problem with hot air blowing out the top if I do that no matter how wet the corn. Started drying this year with 30+% corn. Setting it up for continous flow completely solves any problems with that.
