RED GIANT stirator question

Started drying corn in our 42 wide bin and can t get the bin to level out on top, corn wants to pile up some in the center of the bin, therefore corn is dry on outside third ,and wetter in the center. Don t know if I can get it dry in center without over drying the outside drastically! This is a wider bin than what I am used to drying corn in .We have a couple of 33 bins that have different brand stirator, always levels out nicely. I am concerned that I won t get my corn dry enough before transferring it out to another storage bin.Anyone else experience this problem?
 
I used to have thosae stirators never did really like unit, and yea some conditions grain would always stay more center, before start stirators was grain some what level,it takes good filling spreader to get it half way level on entry. I finally gave up on those systems and went with circuflow system works way better. those vertical augers can be nightmare, today I have ground all cash rented out, best thing I did positive return every year now instead of maybe every third. a lot are having issues in my area make payments. good luck
 
Don't know about the brand of stirators. Could you just draw out a few loads and reenter them to help move some of the dry or wetter corn to a different location in the bin. I know when I worked for a guy we would have to pull it off the bottom and put it back on top to get the rest to finish drying at the end of the season.
 
On my 30' drying bin running on it's 41st year with a David Mfg 4 auger stirrator I just pull out center and recirculate, letting augers level it. This works easily because I can empty directly to filling bucket elevator.
 
The stirrator can be a problem. Just broke outside auger again and very difficult to replace the 15' auger with 6' of roof clearance above grain ,but two can do it in less than an hour. That auger rarely lasts more than 5 batches.
