Yes. Mecmar can supply you with a kit for converting your tractor-powered dryer into an electric one. This step can reduce operating costs and free up a tractor, which can instead be used for other activities in the fields.
For farms that already have a three-phase power supply, the decision to convert your dryer to an electric one is fairly straightforward. If you don't have three-phase on the farm, two options are possible:
- request three-phase power;
- use a power generator powered by a motor unit.
Many farmers use the latter option, as it is less expensive than locking up a tractor to run the dryer all season, thus making it impossible to use in the field.
