Grain dryer size?

No, I think I was the problem!!! I will not sway on excessive working hours nor blackgrass hygiene. My day to day role was to be the “assistant manager” running around sorting out everyone else’s problems. Also the spreadsheet showed me no financial gain for me, in fact the opposite.

I run as an efficient operation as I can here and did not want to be absorbing others inefficiencies just for the sake of an enormous shiny combine, so I will upgrade from @Brisel old combine to another large secondhand one.

What I would have gained is back up given I work on my own.

You’ve got my old 580? Hope it has done well for you like it did for us (y)

Is it possible to design one intake/wet holding area feeding into the dryer. BUT, leave some space so that the intake could feed a second dryer in the future if required.

Yes. There were a few wrinkles that need ironing out from it previous owner(!!) but has run like clockwork since. Biggest gripe is the cleaning area can’t cope with the machines appetite but on my area that is not a problem, you just feel you could be going quicker. One fan belt this harvest. Remind me why I am selling it.......
