Anyone use a grain vac to fill bins?

I got a notice this month that Brandt has a new high capacity Grain Vac. Model 7500 HP can move 8,000 bushels of wheat per hour at “full bin capacity,” which means when using just 3.5 feet of straight hose plus the nozzle. Capacity of a 10-inch swing auger is 5,000 to 6,000 bushels per hour, says Jason Bouchard of Brandt Agricultural Products.

It got me wondering whether anyone has perfected a way to use a Grain Vac to fill a bin. That way you could completely replace an auger with a vac. Bouchard says Brandt has not developed anything like this and as far as he knows “there is nothing out there that can do this.”

I put the question to you. Do you know of any company or mechanically-inclined farmer who has figured out a way to use a grain vac — any brand — to fill a bin? Please email me if you can help.

More about Grain Vac 7500 HP

List price for Model 7500 HP is Can$29,800. It achieves maximum grain movement with 120 horsepower. “This allows growers to match the 7500 HP with popular mid-sized tractors,” the company says.

With “exclusive cone separator technology,” the Grain Vac uses no moving parts to direct the grain into the auger or air into the fan. And you don’ t have to make any adjustments crop to crop. Brandt says the centrifugal fan design has a much lower replacement cost than blower style pumps. And the double blade fan “lasts twice as long as previous design.”
