We ran the same size ,,the biggest problem with them is cleaning it out ,,the grills get cloged with dust and if the air outside is damp ,it takes forever to dry stuff and you end up with a pond inside it ,,we found it was best to set it up with some fall to the entry doors ,,about an inch is enough .
You will also find that big grains like peas or beans will shrink and the chamber sensor doesn't work as the grain drops below it so it can't tell what the drying moisture is.
Keep the burner chamber probe clean else that gives a false reading .
Find somebody small when it needs cleaning out ,,you need to be skinny ,,they are horible things to get in .

Moisture problems are often because there’s not a big enough exhaust duct, if it’s wet grain opening the access doors helps. They are good machines but depends on how they are set up.
