Kit Enlarges Grain Bin’s Lid Opening
“Our new conversion kit lets you enlarge the lid opening on grain bins by up to 70 percent. The larger opening makes it much easier to set up today’s big grain augers when filling bins,” says Jaycelyn Dueck, Boundary Trail Welding, Cartwright, Man.
The kit consists of a new, larger bolt-on collar and a larger cable-controlled spring-hinged lid.
To install the kit bolt the new collar onto the roof panels to keep roof metal rigid. Then use a torch or recipricating saw to cut the larger opening. Bolt the new lid over the collar and run cable. Each lid comes with a complete cable kit and instructions.
“It fills a real need in today’s grain harvesting systems,” says Dueck. “It’s a real challenge to drop the 13 and 16-in. dia. spout on a 100-ft. long auger into a 20-in. dia. hole. You almost have to climb up onto the bin roof and manually direct the spout into the hole. If you’ve got combines in the field you don’t want them waiting while you try to maneuver your grain auger into place.
“The kit is designed for most popular old-style bins and even works on welded-together bins that have smaller throat sizes. The collar and lid can be bought separately, but most farmers buy them together.”
The collar sells for $130 plus S&H and the bin lid for $175 plus S&H.
