Clumps in canola bin

[samhill]

Water leaked through spot in roof and there’s clumps at the top which slide down. Can I let those clumps go through grain vac or stop and break them up before sucking them in?

[Guest]

we have never had any trouble with them , grain vac forgives a lot

[SASKFARMER]

Let it rip

I would make sure the canola in those clumps are cool and sweet. No odor or heated kernels.

Clumps the size of your fist or clumps the size of a small child?

Check if heated. If heated I always throw them out. If not, suck them up. I had a load grade sample just from sucking up a heated spot by the door. I Wasn't happy. I Try not to ever load heated stuff

Follow advice on heated issue but if there isn't much and you're hauling a bunch, surely........

No really. If there heated lumps and they can be thrown out without them breaking up in the bin....chuck it out.

Clumps aren’t hot but there spoiled, will put em through vac but onto ground a nscoop up with FEL.
That’s plan anyhoo.

K, so vac did a good job, interested now in buying one. Rented a Rem vrx for the bin. Any suggestions?
Prolly all good, depends on dealer, as most equipment does. JD dealer here sells Brandt, and I like dealing there.

If you want a Brandt your going to be dealing at a JD dealership. Brandt sold it's soul to the Devil. May as well paint the Brandt green and call it a John Deere......thanks a BILLION.
