Among these notable features of the new Chief show bin is the innovative lap splice. The stiffener lap splice is a structural enhancement incorporated into all Chief Bin designs. It ensures increased strength and stability by effectively connecting the stiffener plates, reinforcing the sidewall structure. This robust construction significantly enhances the bin's load-bearing capacity, allowing it to safely store and protect over 112,000 bushels of grain.
In addition to the stiffener lap splice, Chief Agri has included the 10k side draw feature to the new Chief show bin, further optimizing its functionality. The 10k side draw is a specialized grain retrieval system that enables farmers to efficiently access stored grain from the side of the bin. This innovative design facilitates convenient and streamlined grain handling, reducing time and labor involved in the retrieval process.
The new Chief Bin at Farm Progress is equipped with the A-Series Commercial Roof Safety Package from Greene Stairs, a trusted name in safety solutions. Recognizing the importance of safeguarding workers and commodities, Chief Agri has partnered with Greene Stairs to provide industry-leading safety measures. Additionally, the bin features the Farm Duty C-Series Sidewall Stairs, further improving accessibility and ease of use.

A standout feature of this year's grain bin is the inclusion of the mid-roof walkaround and eave walkaround, also supplied by Greene Stairs. These additions provide farmers with convenient access points for inspections, maintenance and grain handling, streamlining day-to-day operations.
This year, all of Chief’s bins proudly feature the new V-Rib Roof, which enhances the grain storage capabilities of the bin. Engineered for both structured and unstructured roofs, the V-Rib panel incorporates a stair-step in the side slopes of the rib and subtle corrugations in the pan to enhance strength. Furthermore, the roof panels utilize steel graded at an increased 40ksi, surpassing the industry standard of 33ksi. This upgrade ensures enhanced protection against the elements, including snow, wind and peak loads, safeguarding farmers' valuable commodities well into the future.
