Man, I really appreciate the replies and will concede that I certainly don't have it all figured out, just brainstorming at this point. Obviously if I can buy used units on the cheap, that may work well.
I am looking to store oats and teff grain. The teff will present a challenge due to size and might take some rethinking.
One of the primary reasons for this storage is drying. I could get in a pinch where I need to get it out quick, regardless of moisture and would want to dry before selling as well as protect against spoilage.
I am honestly not familiar with drying systems to even know what might be a good or economical solution but any heating would likely come from gas firing and any automation of moving, augers, etc, I would likely run as electric unless we are talking just transferring product in which a PTO or gas engine auger would seem most appropriate.
I was thinking a perf floor type design. I am not all smiles about a suspended system as they can be dangerous but that could end up working well. I would sure like to visit or see pics of different designs.
I do agree, no need to reinvent if there is something cheap that will get me going.
