“ When corn and soybean loads substantially increased,
we needed buckets we could rely on for fast throughput.
The Tapco 9" CC-HD buckets actually OVER PERFORMED
and increased our bph capacity.”

Business is booming at the Farmers Cooperative Company (FC) in
Rake, Iowa. In fact, last year the volume of corn and soybeans
unloaded from trucks and wagons
increased substantially. In July 2003,
FC upgraded one leg with a 72"
pulley. Three months later,
another leg was built with a 48"
pulley. Both legs were equipped
with Tapco 9" “Super Capacity”
CC-HD buckets.
Rake Location Manager Lanny Klett says, “We told Tapco what we
were looking for and they made a recommendation. We trusted
Tapco because of their reputation and experience.”
Klett explains, “The leg with the 72" pulley handles 27,000 bushels per
hour (bph) and the leg with the 48" pulley handles 26,000. That is
pretty impressive since the smaller pulley works harder, and the Tapco
buckets are rated at 25,000-bph. We’ve had the same success using
Tapco buckets on our other legs, too.”
The new Tapco 9" buckets enabled FC to increase their
capacity from 50,000 to 53,000-bph without breaking
stride. “Faster handling makes everyone happy, including
our customers,” Klett says, “which is why I’d recommend
Tapco buckets to others.”
