We are planning to empty our 60 ft. silo,it has a 5 horse power motor on the unloader.The unloader will be ran continously all day.My question is how many amps can I run it all day without overheating or burnin up my motor? It is an older motor but about three years ago we took it off and had a motor shop go thru it.When we were filing our silage mixer we would run 50 amps but that was only for a few minutes.It is a 16ft diameter silo and we are unloading corn silage.I really do not want to have motor problems and have to lug a motor up a silo shute.We aso have help lined up to haul silage all day to the dairy that is buying it. Thanks Tom
