Gonna be sore in the morning...

The last one was a let down 😂

What kind of insane person would knock the bricks out of the silo walls while standing on the inside!!

@ 3:28 nope, I quit!

Second view, never gets old.

Farmer was angry 😡

Kudos for using a bull dozer. Seen some one with a hammer skidder crash a silo on a house with out a dozer.

I’ve seen enough of these old tile silos come down I have to ask. Wouldn’t it be helpful to knock out an arch? When you knock out a uniform two foot section, we see many that drop two feet and stop, now you don’t know which way it will go. If you knocked out an arch the silo falls much farther in the direction you want before it hits any resistance. I know in this video they had a line on it with a tractor pulling it, but many of these videos do not.

Whose the moron that video this, way too close to see entire action

menonites would take them down for free and reuse them.

Sad to see this American history of agriculture taken down. But I understand that we have to move forward

Looks like an awesome time!

My dad wanted to put up a grain silo, but an old silo was in the location where it was to be built. It was hand built out of three rows of steel reinforced bricks. On day one, the guy showed up with a sledgehammer and went to work. At the end of the day, he had a hole about five feet tall and five feet across. On day two, he showed up with a jackhammer. By noon he had removed bricks about two thirds of the way around. He stopped for lunch, and it fell during lunch, leaving one ten foot wide section still standing. We hooked a tractor to the remaining section, while he jackhammered away. The section finally fell a couple of hours later. We picked up bricks for days.

All stave silos, could be identified as to who built it, by the color and pattern of the painted staves in the top two rows.

Hey clam did we just knock down grandma’s house she was number six

Hey clam how many Shiloh’s is there is it six or five hours or Izone really have five fingers on each hand so how many is there for six

Hey Henry let’s get clam out here and maybe he’s gonna tie the mules up to this big thing and Tagamet baby will be able to push you down when the tornadoes come

one day your luck will run out

That's terrible to knock down good usable silos...

That bottom unloader was solid.

Farmers are the Craziest,Ballsiest SOB’s I have ever known. I am proud to have been one. I am sorry that I was not invited to this party.

Sore mussels that night😊

you are America!!!!

Inside?

I hate to see silos come down. They are landmarks on our rural, and formerly rural countryside. Monuments to our heritage and the former dairy farms that filled the land.

Turn the tops into vacation rentals. 😬

Well it would give a health and safety man a heart attack🤣🤣 having said that all silos dropped in the same direction with out incident. Swinging that sledge looks hard work. A job well done I think

Those weren't young guys swinging that sledge. I've used sledgehammers a lot and they'll wear you out quick!

kuddos to the sheet metal guys the roof or (head) stayed in one piece good job lads.

Rent an electric jack hammer

They come down "kinda" easy. The cleanup well that takes a little bit longer.

Me thinks this not their first silos , biggest balls for knocking from the inside out ,

When SAFETY doesn't matter.............

＼(^o^)／

What an idiot, and wouldn’t repair the barn and what a mess to clean up !

These dudes are so hard core they sledge hammer masonry in front of their faces with no safety glasses anywhere near.

Camera man ost his bottle!😂🤣😂

YIKES! Gives new meaning to the term, "Clean-up an aisle 5"...(and 6...and 4...and 3...and...) Can only imagine.

Oh dear me, America is becoming Venezuela.

Someone commented, "Guy inside with sledgehammer, that's scary." No, guy inside total bleeping idiot! MY GUESS IS THESE GUYS COULDN'T EVEN SPELL HEALTH AND SAFETY!

Damn look pretty strong evidently this person was not a farmer because they were built really good the ones now are cheap I never would have done that unless a tornado would hit it

Why not use one to fall towards the others and take them all down at once

These guys are idiots

That's workout with that sledge.

So they tore down six silos and built one backyard observatory.

What a wast

Guy inside with the sledge, that's scarry.

Never did find the top of our silo when the tornado took it out on Palm Sunday 1965

I know they were not needed at all anymore. Just so sad to see them go and all the memories also.
