[QUOTE="simme, post: 1660666, member: 40418"] I believe the pipes in the front would be the blow pipe for getting the corn into the bin. I think the pipes in the back are for the air to exit the bin. I am familiar with feed bins like these using the door/lid in the center of the top for fill. That requires a truck with a long hydraulically positioned auger that conveys the material from the truck to the opening at the top. The lid on top would be hinged with a system of rods connected to a handle on one leg of the bin to open and close the lid from the ground without climbing the bin. A blow system would use a truck with an on-board air blower that would blow the air and corn up a pipe into the bin. Corn falls down by gravity into the bin. The air has to come out somewhere. That is the other pipe that lets the air out. You would have to have the proper pipe and connectors to allow the truck to connect to the bin when it is filled. Suggest you show the pictures to the folks at the feed mill for their input on what is required. [/QUOTE]
