Quite rare, even during the years of it's production, Deere built portable grain dryers for a short time. Probably a bit before it's time, they were apparently not produced in large numbers. I can remember seeing maybe one prior to this one appearing at the Rantoul show. A recirculating batch dryer, it was in operation on Saturday at the show. A bucket type elevator served to load and unload the dryer, as well as to recirculate the grain during the drying process.
