Cousins have a 10,000 bushel bin with a sweep that I'm pretty sure has a chain drive.
Probably a 6 inch auger, turns slow, doesn't kick up much dust, but it is HEAVY. They don't take the motor off, drive is enclosed with a shield. Usually use the loader to try to get it stuck into the bin as much as possible.
What size motor for carry in sweep auger?
