On our farm we have 5 4000bu hopper bins with rocket aeration. 8 3200bu bins (4 with tube aeration), 3 2300bu bins, and another bin around 3000bu.

With that said we would like to put up a couple 10,000bu bins. We like to keep every field seperate and with our bin setups it works perfect for this. We do haul a load or two to the elevator after the bin is full, but when the elevator is only 35 miles roundtrip this isn't that big of deal.

It all depends on your farm size. We only run 1 combine so we maybe move the auger once or twice during the day, and having 2 semis for 1 2388 is plenty of time for the truck driver to move the auger.

Again, it all comes down to your needs, wants, etc.
