What makes the Grainline Drive Over Hopper different from other drive‑over systems?
The Grainline unit is fully self‑propelled and independent, featuring a 46hp Yanmar diesel engine and hydraulic steering/drive. Unlike many competitor systems, it doesn’t require a tractor or external power source and can be manoeuvred into position by a single operator.
How low is the hopper, and can all trailer types drive over it?
The hopper has an ultra‑low 135mm profile, allowing virtually all side‑tippers, B-doubles, road trains, and farm trailers to drive straight over it without splitting or precise reversing.
What is the grain handling capacity?
The Drive Over Hopper uses dual 12-inch augers paired with five runs of 6-inch flights, delivering high‑throughput receival suitable for large-scale farmers and contractors handling big harvest volumes.
Is it easy to move and position at different silo or bunker sites?
Yes. The unit has integrated hydraulic steering and drive, plus large wheels that lift/rotate hydraulically. A single operator can reposition it precisely using the joystick control — no tractor required.
What maintenance is required?
Maintenance is simplified through removable safety grates, allowing quick access to internal flights and bearings for cleaning or servicing. The diesel engine requires standard scheduled servicing, supported widely through the Yanmar service network.
What are the main advantages during harvest?
It significantly reduces unloading times, removes the need to split trailers, eliminates reversing into tight pits, and reduces site congestion. It also frees up tractors and labour that would otherwise be tied to a static hopper system.
Is it durable enough for commercial contractor use?
Yes. The hopper is built in Australia with heavy‑duty reinforced construction designed for harsh agricultural environments and constant heavy vehicle traffic.
What warranty and satisfaction guarantees are included?
The Drive Over Hopper comes with:
- 2‑year Peace of Mind Warranty
- 30‑day Customer Satisfaction Guarantee (return or exchange)
- Manufactured in Australia by an Australian‑owned business
