Standard Bin Sizes with Important Bin Information
Capacities for 6'-15' diameter tanks are calculated at 40 lbs./cubic foot for freeflowing material. Bushels capacities for 6'-15' diameter tanks are calculated
with no compaction and to full cubic foot capacities. It is absolutely necessary
to install an appropriate agitator in feed tanks storing soybean meal, cotton
seed meal, hot feeds and other products not considered free-flowing material.
Consult the Farmer Boy sales team when in doubt about a specific material.
All BFT series feed tanks include the following standard features:
• Ground control fill cap (60° & 67° tanks through 15' dia.)
• Roof panels
• 2.66" corrugated sidewalls
• 16" opening to include the appropriate hopper collar.
22" opening available upon request.
• All ladder parts and hardware are included in the ladder packages (sold separately)
NOTE: All the BFT ladder packages above do NOT include safety cages
or any fall protection. Safety cages are no longer OSHA approved for fall
protection, but will still be offered for customer preference. All BFT’s with
an eave height of 24' or above need to have fall protection installed.
