As said he’s taking the farm on so he wont know tonnes until this time next year. Also it restricts cropping somewhat as well.

Yes if you fill one side completely first. Just not ideal really. It suits the contractor route of cutting 500t in a day and then disapearing I guess. Even yesterday back here we were cutting wheat. First load was 20% and last load 12 hrs later was 14.2%. In the shed we are talking about youd...

He must be paying at least £10,000 a month to fund his machinery obsession, all funded by his ‘other’ 12 income streams. Its a bad farming business model. And as for the hard sell merch then I dont want to watch anymore. His audience has changed.

We know this but see the first post. My family member did not build the shed. We are just trying to find a way to make it work better.

we dont know. See the first post.

We dont know I’m afraid. Only guess is that an internal tunnel would loose space.

Why would a conveyor help? Its a drive over drying floor. Tip and go. Take a look at the drawing again. The grain drier is the underfloor laterals. Mobile stirrer but again thats not the question. Its the shed layout that doesnt work very well as the laterals run front to back not side to...

Thats where the air blows in from and theres flaps for each lateral anyway. Have a look at the drawing as I think you have misunderstood.

Well the land work was completed by a contractor so they filled the shed and then left. The previous farmer then managed the grain in the shed. The system works but it relies on 600t going in each side at similar moistures which as we all know varies during the day hugely.

Yes theres access but they are heavy covers and at the front of the shed lots of traffic so they are not easy to remove.

Problem is with those you have to lift every tunnel cover up from the empty end doen to when the crop gets to, to fit them. It would end up being a daily task as the store fills. Also if you accidentally cover the tunnels with the valve in you are then stuffed if you need to dry the corn stored...

Each underfloor lateral has a metal slides to open the flow of air or shut it off. Theres a total of 18 underfloor laterals (9 each side) snd you can run one or all of them, whatever you like.

Yes and new farm machinery does not increase in price. Its start depreciating the minute it leaves the dealers yard. New prices increase which slightly increases used prices but used tractors do not increase in price unless they become collectables. A £250,000 Fendt 728 is 20 years away from...

Posted in the machinery section previously about this but Ive a family member taking on a farm and he’s trying to sort a few things out. One quandary is his main grain shed. Its only 6 years old so in great shape but the configuration is wrong. We have no idea why see pic below. The issue is you...

Its very much soil dependent as my neighbour runs a 6m on a 250hp 7250 magnum and it makes it work hard. But the soil type is clay with long undulating slopes, where as you tube shows you 12m on 250hp.
