Subject: Re: Top Dry grain dryers



Ripley, Ontario Canada
I have helped a neighbour with a GSI topdry in an 18 foot bin. He runs it batch and I don't think he would buy it again after 3 years experience. We usually dry wet (ok by most of the posts on here really wet) corn 28-40%. It is hard to dry corn that wet in a top dry. The bottom of the batch is 10% and the top is still 30%, and by the time you figure that out you have dropped the corn and then have to put it back in again. They take time to fill and dump. For a bigger bin, you will need a 10 inch or bigger auger to make any time filling. You also have to have somewhere to dump the corn fairly regularly, and cool it after you move it. Also GSI uses a lot of propriatary parts (at least that is what we have been told) so if you don't have a good dealer close (and we don't) I would buy something else.
