Grain Handling, Drying & Storage It’s never too early to be thinking about harvest

of applications beyond cereals; for example, it has been used to move coal, wood chips, biomass, animal feeds, salt, silage, animal waste and aggregates.

It is available in a large variety of lengths, from 3.5–16 m, and built to order to suit your telehandler or loading shovel, whatever bracket con guration you may have. All models of the Barn-Stormer are also available as an expandable version, which allows the length of the implement to be extended by the addition of extra sections of tube, thus increasing the versatility and longevity.

The Ceres Barn-Stormer grain pusher o ers an e cient and reliable method for controlling your cereal storage, the company says.

The 2.5m wide blade is shaped to propel your materials e ortlessly; its smooth design without grain traps provides clean operation to avoid the risk of cross-contamination, both inside and outside your buildings. The blade is tted with a long-lasting, hard- wearing rubber-nylon replaceable wear strip which glides e ciently over wooden, vented and polished or tamped concrete oors with ease.

The large, centrally-mounted tube is not only light and robust, it also increases visibility and manoeuvrability around doorways, ducts, vents and beams. Su ciently braced from the blade and the headstock, this gives the Barn-Stormer the best strength to weight ratio in its class, Ceres comments.

The Ceres team can advise on the optimum length of grain pusher for you, to increase the speed and e ciency of this task, so that with practice, large trailer loads can be elevated in two or three pushes, with less shunting backwards and forwards, and booming in and out, saving time during the busiest season. This also increases the lifespan and fuel economy of your telehandler/loading shovel, and preserves the grain store oor, reduces tyre wear and increases traction through better weight distribution of your machine.
