[QUOTE="PostHarvest, post: 7563568, member: 1570"] I've never understood the attraction of very tall elevators and screw conveyors in the USA. Possibly its because they could have a tractor drive the one elevator leg and then everything else moves by gravity. Here we usually have height restrictions which limit how tall elevators can be. Those super tall elevators must be awful to service and when the ducting down to the bins wears out its a major job to change it. The augers and screw conveyors that several US companies have sold over here are constantly wearing out flights and thrust bearings so IMHO, they are cheap to buy for a reason, because they cost a fortune to run and maintain.
