I've seen some talk about plugged sumps in grain bins and thought I'd share what I've been building for some other guys. I know they work in corn and soybean bins, pods being the main problem in bean bins.

The pipe going down the center fits into the sweep auger pipe and keeps it from sliding around. On bins with a power sweep the grate is custom built on top of the gear box. I know its a little late for this year, but if your interested I sell them for $150.
