5. Power Requirements
Power requirements are dependent on grain type, condition and moisture level. Power requirements are
suggestions and may vary in specific circumstances. Steps can be taken to reduce the power needed to
operate the unload or sweep if power available to the site is limited. Operating the unload at a slower
speed and reducing the flow of grain into the unload will reduce power requirement.
Electric Drive
