How many ton will she hold

Bruce from Can. · Sep 21, 2019

14x5 by 7foot 8 inches wide

I know it?s more than the old hoist wants to lift, so I
get to shovel about half.
I also know climbing back over the side, and
climbing down isn?t as much of a joke as it used to
be

I'm fairly sure that depth matters.

Bob Bancroft · Sep 21, 2019

That all depends on test weight. I can't imagine your grain mix is all that heavy. Any idea what the weight per bushel is?
Looks like an old Edbro hoist. Or is that a tipper up there? I used to have one on a 14' rack and it would lift anything.

Bruce from Can. · Sep 21, 2019

This thing never wants to lift much. Grain must be 40-45 lb per bushel

Just bring those oats here Bruce, I'll unload them for you!

JD Seller · Sep 21, 2019

Level full, with 32 lbs. test weight oats, would put you at 6.8 ton. Easier way is that bed will hold 429 bushel level full. 14x7.66x5 = 536.2 square feet. then divide by 1.25 (square feet per bushel) = 428.96 bushels.

Check your pressure relief, should be a set screw with a lock but somewhere. That should lift all you can out in the box.

Dave H (MI) · Sep 21, 2019

Well you have a plate on there somewhere with GVW...start there. I have a box about that size used mostly for corn. My test weights tend to run high. I can run 300 bushel, takes the truck to GVW and it unloads fine. Take the hoist up in stages. Pushing old equipment hard is foolish. Sand/gravel 3-4 ton max. Does not flow like grain. Riskier and harder on hoist.

Fella running the combine figured right around 7 tons. JD combine this time picking up swaths, I?ll try to post a picture later. I ya, this grain is half oats half barley.

I?ll guess 6T?

That shoveling would come to a screeching halt around here- suddenly your 7 ton box would be going to the barn about half full.

Am glad to see you're getting a good yield, and will have enough feed this winter. It was always a good feeling on the farm when everything was in the barn, bin and pit (hay, grain and silage, respectively), and there was enough there to get through til next year.

Be careful climbing over the side. That's how I fell and broke my hip about 30 years ago.

oj · Sep 21, 2019

9.6 tonnes by my calculation using 45lb test weight. 420 odd bushels volume.

Bruce from Can. · Sep 21, 2019

Ouch!!

dpendzic · Sep 21, 2019

40 tons of concrete

And how my father-in-law lost his ring finger 65 years ago.

Probably more than you should try to pull with a Farmall C.

the tractor vet · Sep 21, 2019

Plum in a hyd pressure gauge that can read up to 5000 PSI and check the pressure , You should be pulling around 2000 to 2450 . I ran my dump trailer wet line at 2850 on a 12 inch cylinder and i could run 45-50 ton of ag lime to the top at 1200 RPM . and the biggest load she lifted was just shy of a 126 ton . Never ask a guy in a steel mill how much the stuff weighs when they are loading you with a 992 Cat loaded and he is only taking half bucket with the back wheels of a load coming off the ground.

Is there a local market for oats and barley mixed together or do you feed it all to your own livestock?

caterpillar guy · Sep 21, 2019

Unless the pump or relief is low it should lift that and then some. I have a Scott level lift on an 18 foot box with 4.5 sides. It will lift all the corn or Wheat I put in it. Would be heavier than Oat Barley mix by a bit.
I even not much and it went up by hoist even.

4xMF · Sep 21, 2019

10 ton of barley.

Crazy Horse · Sep 21, 2019

JDS .... you must mean cubic feet (not square feet).

JD Seller · Sep 21, 2019

Yes you caught my mistake. It is cubic feet.

Bruce from Can. · Sep 22, 2019

Local feed mill needs oats/barley when making ration for small rumens like goats and sheep. So there is a decent market, but I like it for feeding heifers. Not sure why, but heifers do well on oats and barley , grow evenly. Feeding heavy corn ration seems to make heifers grow fatter than even. They need to get tall as well as put on weight, just my experience.
