My employer gave it to me. He just wanted to get rid of it. It has been used for hauling water to their horses. I dont really need it and I could make some money if I filled it with junk and took it to the scrap yard but I dont like to do that as it was a kind of gift and he thinks I can make good use of it. Im thinking of installing a horizontal auger in the bottom of it, cut the top off, and use it as a grain cart. It would hold 4.5 ton of wheat and that is twice as much as the small gravity boxes I use.

lets get down to bushels here... will it hold 200 bu.?

I am all metric. 6.6 cubic metres. You do the math.

Cut the top off and use it to make sloping sides near the bottom to feed the auger.

Oats would be close or barley, but not corn

The bottom is v-shaped.

Never look a gift horse n the mouth.

acording to my calculation should hold 213 bushels of corn

rustred,

6.6 cu. meters = 233 cu. ft = 186.4 bushels

Yes if you heaped it up but water level it would 186.4 bushels.
