Unloading and storing the harvest is another job.
The wagon comes equipped with a hydraulic lift that enables it to tilt up and dump the grain onto the elevator.
The elevator may be a noisy tool, but it beats shoveling a crop by hand into the granary. The paddles act like “moving steps”. Each paddle raises the precious seed up to the hole in the granary’s roof and deposits it into the bin where it is stored for later use.
That is how this part of the harvest is done. I hope you enjoyed visiting as we put up the oat crop on Heritage Farm.

I have an elevator like this, not sure I would ever use it again
. Grew up putting corn and cotton seed thru the roof of a large barn. I may decide to sell if anyone is interested.
