How much should I charge. This was malt barley dried on the seed setting

Just done a bit for a neighbour today. Does anyone know if I could get a meter to put on the gas line.

I was told about that one. Had a few issues this week and had to bypass some to get the batch finished but getting there now

Well I’m def not a grain dryer virgin anymore. Started to get my head around the machine rightly now. 100t of wheat at between 22-24% moisture. Learned a lot this past few days. Mostly how little sleep I can get🙈🙈

That would be some machine. Biso head is supposed to be good.

That’s great. Thanks for that. Does that come in the user manual. I must try to get one for it

Ah I see. I bought a new holland in the end. 2004 cx820. Would have liked to stay with deutz but just worried about backup on the newer ones. What did u go for yourself?

Yeah I can see how that would happen. Just wondered about the higher and lower moisture in the mix. What’s the ideal moisture to dry down to to keep. 14%?

I seen Kenny had his for sale recently but it’s sold now another neighbour of mine Robert Moore has 2 and he says he will keep me right anyway just don’t want to be pestering him all the time.

Fair enough on genuine belts then. When blending like that does it all dry down equally. Like if u have one dried pickle at 14 and a wet one at 24 will the dry one not go any lower?

Maybe some are specialist. Have you tried the various belt suppliers in your area?

That was the other thing. Probably twice the price. Although if they would be different I’d say worth the price extra for this application.

You’d wonder if there is any difference in the genuine one or not though. My uncle used to work in a belt factory and they were making belts one time for bmw. He said the only difference was an embossed stamp was put on those belts. Same every other way. Maybe for this application though they...

Ha ha. If we waited here for it to be 15% we wouldn’t need a combine. 17-18 is normally best for winter barley. Spring could be up to 22. Same for wheat. Just finished winter barley on Sunday and spring barley is likely 4-5 weeks away yet.

I’m in Donegal Ireland. I’m thinking the call out fee could be more than my dryer is worth 🤣🤣. I might hold you to the advice though.
