Grain deck
Brandt Industries has a new high-capacity Grain Deck to provide fast gentle drive-over unloading of a variety of crops.
The unit can unload 9,000-10,000 bushels per hour thanks to its 14-inch diameter discharge tube and 32 by 117 inch collapsible hopper.
The deck is six feet by 12 feet and weighs about 2,500 pounds.
An enclosed wind guard prevents belt damage during storage.
A 20-inch, two-ply rubber belt with nylon slider back is also standard. Better belt tracking and longer transitions result in increased belt life and prevent belt flipping or folding.
