People like to bash them, but this 550 has treated me really well.

Couple minor breakdowns, less than an hour in total repairs, but I do go over the girls pre-season.

First try at posting videos. hopefully it works.

240 bu corn, that volume of corn was unheard of when these were first built. Can hear the grain going in the tank, as it gets fuller, the sound changes, love listening to it. The 354 makes sweet music, but that doesn't come across so well in the audio.

Unloading at the bottom of the field, can't make a full round in this field before I am full. My son pulls wagons so I can dump enough to make a full round, and get back to the truck.
