Planning tools

Start with your harvest.

Turn your operating assumptions into a useful project conversation. Save a scenario, compare alternatives and send the inputs to Knopp.

Example inputs are prefilled to demonstrate the arithmetic. Replace them with your operation. Zero equipment ratings mean unknown. This worksheet does not select or approve equipment.

A separate geometry check

Will the auger reach?

Enter the usable straight-line intake-to-discharge length and heights, using the same level datum. Obtain the permissible angle range from the exact equipment manufacturer.

Usable auger length (ft)Intake height (ft)Discharge height (ft)Manufacturer minimum angle (°)Manufacturer maximum angle (°)

Geometry: rise = discharge height − intake height; angle = asin(rise ÷ usable length). Roofline clearance requires a separate equipment- and site-specific review.
