"Pile Driver" Cleans Up Grain Fast

"Pile Driver" Cleans Up Grain Fast GRAIN HANDLING Accessories 31-3-13 For moving wheat stored in big piles, Byron Richardson of Brownfield, Alberta, says his Brandt 5000 EX Pile Driver would be hard to beat. The attachment fits Brandt's grain vac, eliminating the need to shovel. The main job of the Pile Driver is to move grain as quickly as possible. But wheat stored in piles often has some sprouting on the surface, and Richardson found the Pile Driver would first help him skim off sprouted wheat at the edge of the piles. Richardson sometimes has problems with grain beetles. He gets rid of them with a double vacuuming process, first filling one truck and then transferring the load to another truck. The beetles get blown out of the vac with the exhaust air. "So far the vacuuming technique appears to be 100 percent successful in getting rid of the beetles," says Richardson.
