[QUOTE="Farmer Roy, post: 6736085, member: 71668"] haha - it’s a lot more expensive than a shed though. For comparison, I bought my 80 t Vennings in 1998 for $36K. That same year, I bought a brand new Landcruiser HZJ75 ute for $36K & a brand new John Deere 8 metre MaxEmerge precision vacuum meter double disc planter with ALL the bells & whistles at the time for $48K. The equivalent Toyota today would cost about $60 - 70K, the Vennings at least $100k About 10 years ago I built a 700 tonne Twister silo, concrete base, aeration floor & fan, outloading & sweep auger. That cost about $70K But that’s not the point. They are just temporary paddock storage between the harvesting operation & the transport of the grain to more permanent storage ( sometimes we will store grain for years ). In my 100 t / hour example above, the bin might be filled & emptied 10 or more times a day It is so chaser bins aren’t held up waiting for trucks, & trucks don’t have to waste time just sitting in the paddock. Ultimately, it’s all about the combine never stopping . . . [/QUOTE]
