Subject: Tiling and or update drying update


I appreciate all the input from my prior post about installing more tile or updating my grain drying system. Gave me some input to think about.
Well, I did some pricing and to say the least I got sticker shock. For a Superb SQ20 new dryer alone was about $140,000. Still have to pour a pad and wire it and put up something to transfer dry grain to the dry bin. So if I went with augers to the dry bin ( which I'm not real fond of) I'd prolly have at least $160,000 in the project , a leg or an air system is considerably more.
I can put in a lot of tile for $160,000.
Here's my delimna. We just finished havest on Jan 5, due to a wet fall (need more tile) and didn't want to track the fields and also because the elevators were full of wet corn when conditions were better ,by early afternoon and my dryer was full (need more drying capacity).
Really need to do both. Really don't want to leverage myself to do both.
Going to look for a used dryer with an updated computer and I've contacted the tile installer to get on the schedule. May not get anything done in 24 , everybody's booked
