Farm hoover

[TheEarlOfMoray]

Looking at getting a new hoover for the drier/grain store. Any recommendations? Have looked at the big brute but seems very expensive. Agri linc have a couple that are a lot more reasonably priced, anyone tried them?

Got a Brigadier from APM about 4 years ago and its never missed a beat. IIRC I think it was about £1000 + vat which was about half price of a Brute at the time.

I bought a cheaply from Aldi for £20.holds about 25 litres and been fine for tractor cleaning etc.depends how much you want to suck up.had a dustbin one years ago with motor on top.probably held 80 kegs but then too heavy to move unless on a pallet

Got a Big Brute
Love it
Got the massive trunk for sucking spilled/stuck grain in the elevator conveyor system and the flat bar hoover attachment

we always hoover the grain store floor

expensive for sure but ours is at least ??15 years old and onlyneeded a replacement on off switch assembly

A big brute is expensive but does seem to be worth the money, nothing it won't tackle and it has lapped up years of abuse!!

Anyone tried one of these ?

Wheelie Bin M Filtered Vacuum 120ltr Wet & Dry MAXVAC Dura DV120-MBN

The MAXVAC Dura DV120-MBN has been designed with large clean up operations in mind as well as the practicality of having a vacuum that is easy to empty into waste processing plants where used. With a 1200w motor the bin has a powerful suction and uses a 50mm hose. Excellent for cleaning up...

Got a big brute 10+ years ago, still going strong, never been a problem. Great for sucking grain out of the elevator bottoms when I get to ambitious with the feed in speed.

We bought one from powerwasher services at north water bridge. It's been good. Will sook up barley from bottom of 10ft elevator at a fair pace.

Big brute is the only real option I don’t know of one that’s died yet, ours must be 15+ years old. Just buy two spare filter tops too

Big Brute here , 10+ years old and has been back once for a small repair but is a really good bit of kit . Look after the hose though as a new one is very expensive.
