Grain dryers

[Guest]

Best grain dryer...... smart ass answer... the one you own !!! Can't really say which one is best although I have heard great things about GSI and Superb. I am saddled with one of those dry mor that case ih was dissing earlier. He's right about leaving it for the night and come back in the morning and it's not running. If anything goes wrong it shuts down the whole operation. I happen to think that's a good thing. I have the luxury of leaving my bedroom window open and anytime during the night if I halfways wake up I can hear it running or not running and decide if it's important enough to go and check it out. I have a neighbor who has returned to the.bin yard a couple of times to find his dryer in flames. And speaking about vertec dryers I saw one completely disassembled and being rebuilt (after the fire) and let me assure you there are way more moving parts in a vertec dryer than a dry mor. I'm Not so sure you want to turn your back on any dryer and leave it without some supervision !!! Again on the other hand buy a dryer ...... any dryer. .... opens up your options and you will not regret it.

PS. Glenmore used to be the dealer for drymor and they have been excellent for advice and repairs.

getting back to my point about being simple ! superb has a high heat limit that shuts off flame or fan as soon as plenum is over where you set it . it has an air switch that stops flame as soon as fan quits . it stops fan if not drying or in cooling mode . not sure what else you would need ? the biggest problem with nieghbors dry-mor was shutters that operated on air , I think ? but not sure

Has anybody had any experience with the stir bins that Flaman sells. They slowly mix up the bin while you apply heat and air.
I tried just heat and air last year. Grain needs to be turned. I might try one of these bins. Would sure appreciate feedback if any one has experience.
We have a quarter of our crop out.
Right now it's ultra soggy. Like I mean WET.

personally , I would set up a dryer , it can be cheaper and easier than you think

have any of you guys running older superb or farm fan changed the moisture control to digital ? I heard that is quite an improvement ? ours you have to set mc higher if grain tougher or drying at night . I have heard that really helps ?

This sounds like it would blend your grain while drying which is ideal, saves you the time of turning the bin.

I currently use a 600,000 BTU/Hr boiler to heat up air going through grain as well. If grain is 4 points or greater above dry likely have to turn but if below that it should be paper blendable in my opinion.

Looked at that system a few years back with Stirr. Whats 5000 bushels when you can dry that in a evening or while you sleep not week and then move.

Dryer works its a tool in your tool box.

Know farmers with a 10000 stir bin, raining inside as it drys and stirs... sounds wrong, moisture can not escape fast enough. Then lots of work to empty and move the grain. Oh they bought a dryer now...
