Abstract
An exemplary system for filling a holding tank with agricultural product generally includes a supply line. The supply line includes an inlet, a plurality of outlets, and a plurality of junctions. The inlet is connected with a conveyance device such that the supply line is operable to receive a flowing agricultural product blown by the conveyance device. The outlets are open to a holding space of the holding tank, and includes a first outlet and a second outlet. The plurality of junctions includes a first junction associated with the first outlet, and a second junction associated with the second outlet. The first junction is configured to direct agricultural product to flow out of the first outlet until the first outlet becomes blocked, and to thereafter direct agricultural product to flow toward the second junction. The second junction is configured to direct agricultural product to flow out of the second outlet.
