TOP DRY
HOW DOES THE
G. S. I. SYSTEM WORK?
1) Grain is loaded into the upper chamber
of the bin, and dried as a batch
2) When the grain is dry, the burner
automatically shuts off
3) The operator lowers the dump chutes
with a winch, and the grain falls to the
lower part of the bin for cooling/storage
4) The dump chutes are cranked closed
and another batch is loading into the
drying chamber
WHY IS A TOP DRY A BETTER INVESTMENT
THAN A STIRRING MACHINE?
1) LOWER OPERATING COSTS
' Uses much Tess fuel because it recycles cooling air through
the drying zone
' No gear boxes, motors, or bearings inside the bin
• 100% galvanized construction inside and outside
2) FASTER DRYING
• 2 to 3 times faster per horsepower than a stirring machine
because of lower grain depth (30")

at
Mabel's.
"Well, at least I'm not paying a
few hundred dollars to be at a
cottage," said Cliff Murray as he
shivered his way into Mabel's one
morning on the long holiday
weekend.
"Or worse still, those kids who
always go camping at the provincial
parks for the Victoria Day holiday,"
said George McKenzie. "Makes me
glad I'm not old enough for that
nonsense anymore."
"Oh well, at least it keeps you in
the mood for the hockey playoffs,"
said Dave Winston.
"Oh, I hope we don't have hockey
weather as long as we've got
hockey," said George. "They don't
get finished until the middle of June."
"Maybe the long hockey season is
what's screwing up the weather,"
said Cliff. "When I was young
hockey season ended in early May
and May 24 was always the, first .
weekend of the summer. You went to
the beach. It was warm enough for
the girls to be in their bathing suits.
Now they better have winter jackets
or they'll to freeze their assets."
"Yeh, I remember when
Christmas was cold and May 24 was
warm. Now it's all backwards," said
George.
"And you're still going to tell me
there's no global warming," said
Molly Whiteside as she delivered
steaming cups of coffee for the guys
to wrap their cold fingers around.
"Not this weekend there isn't",
said George.
"Well, I don't know if there's
global warming or not, but I hope the
U.S. government thinks there is,"
said Dave. "If they keep building
those ethanol plants the way they are
they might actually get the price of
corn back to a decent amount."
"Except the way the dollar is
going up, you'll probably get Tess
