How to fill a Farm Fan grain drier

I have bought a second hand farm fan 180 drier. I am now trying to figure out how to set it up. Do I fill it with a hopper, was thinking something like 25 ton hopper. Or do I put in a grain pit so I can tip trailers straight into it? Next filling it with auger or an elevator?

Had two of these driers, we had a vertical elevator which filled and emptied it using an auto switchover valve. Intake was from vertical wet bins, could do it from a pit in a similar way.

Stuart Allyson now with BDC Services knows everything there is to know about these driers, he used to build them up and install for Brice Baker. Well worth talking to him, both to set it up and how to get the best from it in use. 07702-416-176 hope is still on that number!
