Hi guys I"m not sure if this is the right forum or not for this. But I bought a round corn crib that is setting on a flat pad. I am planning to move it to my farm. Here is my question. Do you guys have any idea where I could get dimensions for a built in chute so the corn would flow out onto the elevator without much shoveling? I have seen them in my travels but I don"t know the exact measurements or where I could find pictures. I don"t want just a flat concrete pad if I can help it.

Used to drive a truck called a Shovelveyor It
had a conveyor on the top that rolled forward and
down to fit in that concrete slot and fill the
truck Usually the concrete slot was right under the
slatted door in the crib. as the crib emptied, the
conveyor went in farther and the slats were removed. The shovel part came when the crib was
almost empty and the cobs would no longer flow.

I would say 90% of them around here had an opening where a corn drag was slid into the crib and then when the corn was down to that point you started lifting boards up so the corn would fall into the drag.The outside opening for these cribs was directly in the path of the drag. Confused?

No, I know what you mean I just was wondering if I could find plans or dimensions somewhere on line to make a form for this type of setup. I don't want to shovel any more than I have to since my other crib you basically have to shovel it all out.

My sis has these on here property, 90% used MM corn shellers so if that size drag, I can measure what is there. You may need to ask again in a week, I'm kinda busy for a few days & forget to stop with a tape measure.....

you will need to figure out what size drags are available to unload the bin. the sheller that used to do ours had the john deere drags, they were narrow, if i remember they were 12 inch. we put up a couple extra cribs and poured the pad for those drags. unfortunately, the sheller got sold and the other sheller in the area had bigger drags and wouldnt fit in the crib. best bet would be try and buy a drag at an auction and build the trough accordingly.
