Thank you for all the reply's. I am not taking any corn out of the bin, just got it put in last week. This is my first year with any bins and am learning as I go, but everyone has always said that the corn has to be level for the aireation to work right. If the corn is peaked, the air will move thru the outside and not the center of the pile. Doesn't have a unload tube in it, so can't take any out of the middle, but then if I put it back in it is peaked again. I plan to seal the corn and would like to have it level for them to measure. I KNOW NOT TO GET IN A BIN WHILE UNLOADING!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 years ago, 80+ year old that I had worked for when I was a kid, [like a father to me] was unloading an 18' bin and just had to get in and push a little to the center to get the door out. When the corn quit coming out, his sil went to get help, but it was too late. Sil has health problems, couldn't get into bin to help. Can take you to 3 or 4 bins in a 20 mile radius that have had a hole cut in them to get a body out. That being said, thanks again for the replys, doesn't hurt to remind people to be careful. I have been on the roof of the house and had the wind blow the ladder off the roof and had to wait for a car to go by and try to get them to stop and put ladder back up so I could get down. too cold to do that again right now.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
