Combines & grain carts: find the right information.

Separate the machine, header and grain-cart resources. Harvest setup depends on the crop, moisture, installed components and publication for your model.

Airflow volume is only half of fan selection

Multiply bushels by the selected cfm/bu target to get required airflow. Then choose a fan that can deliver that airflow at the expected static pressure for the crop, depth, floor, transitions and ductwork. Horsepower alone does not establish delivered airflow. Deeper grain generally increases resistance. An aeration target for keeping dry grain in condition is not automatically sufficient for natural-air drying. Use manufacturer fan curves and the correct crop resistance data.

Balance wet arrivals against dryer output

Wet grain accumulates whenever receiving exceeds drying. The planner follows that inventory through the receiving and drying day, then carries any unfinished grain into the next harvest day. A balanced dryer can catch up outside receiving hours. An undersized dryer leaves a growing daily backlog; simply adding a wet bin does not remove that bottleneck. The outage allowance estimates extra volume only. Safe holding time depends on moisture, grain temperature, condition and aeration.
