Built a new drying bin in 2014 next to bins Grandpa put up in the 1980s (same manufacturer that built Cole the Cornstar's debacle). 2014 bin started wrinkling this spring. Called the dealer (who did other work for us and with whom we historically had a good relationship) and they said it was our fault for putting in wet corn even though it was advertised as a drying bin. Put the same moisture corn in Grandpa's bin for 35+ years and no issue (+Grandpa's bin was significantly less expensive even after considering inflation). Don't have these structural issues with silos (say what you want about Harvestores but most of them are at least still standing). Same with silos built by the Amish/Mennonites. Anyone know a bin manufacturer that actually makes a bin that will hold up? Paid big bucks for the thing. Barely lasted through a 7 year depreciation schedule...
The rest of the story is.....???
First, what do you call wrinkling? What is "wet" corn??
Need to know the whole story, not just bits and pieces, before anyone could make a comment as to what the fault is. |
