New grain pusher user opinion

[Matt77]

Anyone with any opinion on these two pushers please, both 6m in length and same money, thought the single tube be cheaper but same money at mo

IMO
The twin tube will be less likely to get a twist if it inadvertently hits something.
I like the thick wear plate under it too, much better than the sharp angles of old on pushers for damaging floors.
I added wood wear blocks to mine from new.
But it's neither of those designs.

 

[Matt77]

Was thinking similar, plus can add or reduce length of the cherry

 

[masseybreaker]

got the cherry one 4m version its good no places for grain to hide but very heavy wouldnt want a 6m

 

[Matt77]

New store is 4m fill, neighbour told me wouldn't want less than 6m pusher

He's probably right.
My store is 10ft fill.
And I have a 10foot pusher on my old matbro.
At least if it's too long you don't need to push the boom right out.

 

[Matt77]

We use neighbours 10ft at other store, that's 10ft fill, couldn't see it doing the job at new store

We have a cherry and its good, no grain sticks on the tubes. The plastic runner on the bottom does clean the floor okay but will leave some behind. Would buy another.

Looks to be around £2400 delivered + vat but I’ve had some better prices this afternoon which I’m looking into

Thanks for replying. I know its none of my business.

Hopefully it’s a long term purchase, been using a neighbours on our other farm for longer than I’ve been here, 30 years maybe, and it’s still going, I’ve done a bit of welding to the blade, it’s only a 3m so not suitable really for the new store, plus a faff to move between sites and it’s about bloody time we brought our own!!!

The longer the better, especially in dry grain.
