It looked like you put the sweeper in relatively early. I would suppose this would enable you to partially clean the emptied floor while still getting a steady flow to unload?
Yeah, the sweep auger is built in to the unloading system on this bin. Once it gets past the door, we go in and follow it around with a broom and shovel.
No, it is driven right from the main unload auger. There is a clutch to disengage it when you don't need it. Just set it about 10 feet back from the door and fill the bin.
Nice job :) How many tones there is when is full ??

The sweep isn't removed before filling?

You guys gotta ways to go before using a shovel and broom.

Smart people shovel and sweep behind the auger so when it is around fully you are done! Think about it.

Well I've never had the chance to do it that way. And some of the bins I've cleaned had no sweep auger.
