nc ks | Not brant but batco with the identical belt chevron and it works exceptional up to certain degrees of slope. Beans work much better than corn and wet corn works better than dry corn. We have a 120' 20" batco and it will not fill a 48x10w bin with dry corn. It will put whatever you want in a 42x8w.
Very nice for use when repositioning trucks as they run quiet full or empty. Small tractor can be used with exceptional capacity. Takes a little more management as operator must take into account how full to fill based on friction and elevation angle. An auger is a little more forgiving with its positive displacement and background input of tractor loading sound or amp meter reading. However, the aftermath of an overload is much simpler with belt than auger. A belt cascades downward and you have to remove grain from the inlet until it will operate again. An auger with a sheared pin or killed tractor take a little more mechanical work to clear usually.
My favorite is a chain conveyor in either a rectangle master mover style or a tube double run style. These give you the benefits of the a quieter operation and gentler handling combined with positive displacement. | |
