I am now thinking that adding an unload auger to these bins is a no brainer. This should be much cheaper than larger gravity boxes and will give me much more marketing control as well, and no waiting in line at harvest time. When it come time to unload, I'll likely have it loaded into a hired semi, so load time could be an issue. I'm assuming truck drivers like larger unload augers. How long would it take to load a semi (900 bushel) with a 6" unload auger? How about an 8"? I like the idea of a vertical unload, but is it slow to unload the bin? I'm thinking if I have a horizontal unload auger, I could have that run into another auger that will be set out to load the semi. If I had time prior to the semi coming, I could even load a gravity box prior to his arrival, then move it to dump into the auger loading the semi at the same time that the bin unload auger is running to load the truck faster.
I'm still thinking here, and will likely have more questions, but things are getting a bit more clear.
I am located in Mille Lacs County, just 2 miles East of Benton County. Between Foley and Milaca. If you have any equipment available that you think I should consider, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
