Crippen 488 seed cleaner first time out

rockyridgefarm · Mar 15, 2022

I was expecting 400ish bu/hr. It blew that right out the water. My by gosh and by golly estimate puts it well over 600 bu/hr.

Tom, hold onto your britches, this thing will run you right outta them!

how dry was the seed and how much cracking does that last auger cause??

Looks like she takes a lot of electric
motors

Lets see 600 bu per hour and $300 per hour! I am going to get my rye cleaned for $.50 per bushel. Why didn't you get this going a few years
ago. You could have saved me a couple thousand dollars. Tom

You been in Grandpa's cough syrup again, Tom? I'm gonna put in the Friend Screen for you. We'll be at 25 bu/hr allllllllll day!

There's four motors on it now. There will be a fifth once I get the real unload auger on it.

Were you watching the Welkers on You tube or were you sending them pictures?

I think I may have watched one of thier videos about 5 years ago. Do they have one?

It is their latest major project. A very strong resemblance to yours.

I ran it in oats yesterday. Made a few mistakes at first, but I averaged over 450 bu/hr. I am just stoked about this thing. I am not used to being pleasantly surprised at how a machine outperforms my expectations.
