To add on to what ih_jon said, your differential satellites (133, 135, and 138 if memory serves me correct) are located above the equator as stationary satilites, unlike the WAAS and GLONASS that orbit the Earth. Being in Canada puts them lower in the southern sky causing you to lose signal going north. Another reason to move the receiver to the grain tank, is that you are probably getting some satellite reflection off of the grain tank too, while a lot of people do it and it works fine, it can cause some errors with the signal quality.

...unlike the WAAS GPS and GLONASS that orbit the earth.

The OP said he's using RangePoint RTX; I don't know where the RangePoint correction is broadcast from, but I would bet it's from one or more geostationary satellites located somewhere over the Equator, like WAAS.
