Johnny Burl with the stream Ag. I'm here today with Roddy, with Superior Equipment.
00:03
We've been talking about the dryer that I put in a few years ago and you know, some things that I went through, uh,
00:09
when we were trying to decide when I was working with Roddy, what I needed for a dryer, I was asking him, you know,
00:13
maybe it's a good thing we could go over some things that people ought to look at about what they're gonna do different or what they wanna do different when
00:19
they put a dryer in as far as future expansions and stuff like that. And I figured road, if you go over a few things that people ought to look
00:25
At. Yeah, so the biggest thing, you know, like we, we talked initially is having enough capacity and also making sure that your fill and takeaway equipment is,
00:32
is sized properly and you did the right thing by going with larger motors on this so that you could expand in the future. Um,
00:39
a lot of guys will limit themselves on, you know, they think, well, I've got a 2000 bushel filled capacity, I can run 2000 bushels an hour.
00:47
But that's not necessarily the case because you have to kind of overrun the dryer, otherwise you'll never catch up.
00:52
So making sure you have the proper sized equipment and then looking at your future capacity, how big do you think you're gonna go in the future?
01:01
And make sure you size your fans accordingly because then it's simple as picking the roof off, adding the tiers, putting the roof back on. You're,
01:08
you're good to go. Yeah, That's exactly right. So like with us, we, we had built ours a third bigger than what we needed for the capacity combines
01:14
we were running and within a year after putting this, putting this system in, we added a third combine. So we kind of maxed out the dryer.
01:21
But I'd worked with Rodie and like you said, we already added the bigger fans, so I knew if I ever needed to stack another section on,
01:27
that's all I would have to do. So we worked together on that and kind of got that figured out. And I've got a loading elevator leg up there that's tall enough,
01:35
so if I do stack, I can just keep going. So biggest thing is that you just wanna always make sure you're not limiting yourself for future expanding.
01:41
Absolutely. Yeah. Sounds great.
