cornvac opinions

[mithesaint]

Anyone familiar with the cornvac system? I'm looking for an easier and cleaner way to get the corn into the basement this fall. I used some ducting pipe last year and dumped through a basement window into barrels last year, but it was pretty messy and required constant fussing and adjustment.

I'm looking at the cornvac or potentially the storage kit. That would fit nicely in the spot where I store the barrels, and hopefully be a lot cleaner. I had corn dust ALL OVER the basement last fall. I'd like to avoid that this year.

Thanks.

I use a Cornvac to suck pellets out of our silo which feeds our boiler. I put a "coal bucket" under the valve and use the pellets in our pellet stove.
For pellets I had to increase the size of the hose sucking the pellets as they would keep getting stuck with the standard Cornvac hose.
Here is the thread with some pictures.

dont know anything about the cornvac, but i used to build and install grain truck probe systems and we just used whole house vacs for that. Worked good. It might be worth doing some price comparison.
