Nice. We have 35 tones all corn when the harvest are finish :) How many hectares do you have, if may i ask ?
-
Well I've never had the chance to do it that way. And some of the bins I've cleaned had no sweep auger.

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

That bin holds ~19,000 bushels.

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.

The sweep isn't removed before filling?

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.
