Are We Halfway Through The Bin Site Dismantle?

[@edh8144]

I helped a friend of mine move 2 bins about 20 years ago. The bin jacks we had then were a-frame type with a cable winch to raise and lower. Got it done! Thanks for all your videos.

[@davegreazel6596]

I think it's a fantastic purchase. I love deals like that. Definitely a big endeavor, but soooo worth it for what you got, and the learning you got from it so far! Nice score. Again!

[@ggrimm01]

Chris, long time viewer. Amazed at your energy and spirit. Keep up the great momentum. Look at what you have accomplished. Dont worry about the arm chair quarterbacks. Best of luck

[@glenvanbavel8710]

You did the right thing, you got a great deal on the bins and leg .

[@jamesroach4157]

Shout out to the team that helped bring this equipment down. It’s been amazing to watch the process. Only hope that you have the same type of help to get everything up and running. I don’t see how this new capability wouldn’t be beneficial to you and the operation of the farm. Can’t wait to see it being utilized in the near future.

[@kennethheffernan4063]

It's good to see you grow and look twords the future. You can always dry corn for hire or store it for other farmers. Keep the good work up

[@kennolte5801]

I've been watching this from the start and think you're doing awesome work and you have a good plan for the future. Everyone has an opinion but at the end of the day, it's your decision. You've done your due diligence. Full speed ahead man. Keep us posted. There's a lot of us pulling for you.

Anything u do, Chris, that's going to help down the road,is astrp in the right direction,storing corn at home, and transporting it another,is the way to do it,👌

[@scubasteve335]

Yer getting it done way to go. This was a must have with today’s markets . Storage fees are to high 10cents a bushel here so you just keep on getting it.

[@KellyBenedix]

Wow, amazing work, men!!!!

[@nicklambing9268]

Chris, I have found out the hard way to not store corrigated metal panels in stacks (nested) and allow moisture to collect between them, that is moisture from condensation, rain, snow, etc.. I left a stack of corrigated metal nested together out over winter and when unstacking them for use the following summer, they were severely damaged due to corrosion, some type of chemical reaction, possibly electrolysis. Keep them in some kind of dry storage, if possible. Even if stored inside, if moisture collects between panels the potential for damage persists. I have found storing them nested, on edge is the best insurance. If moisture collects from any source, it quickly drains out and no damage occures. On edge is not as handy when considering material handling, but it has proven the best alternative to prevent potential panel damage. I have been working with these panels for over 50 years and found out about the problem early on. The best of luck with your grain storae project! Nick, North West Farmer (Oregon)

I'm proud of you Chris, don't pay any attention to those haters. Do what is best for you and the farm

[@RandyHunt19]

Chris its a win win for the farm. - able to store and dry grain if needed and sell when prices are right for you. - able to combine when ready and able to bang out acres when ready -not dependant on moving grain any distance till you sell and at time you sell. - every farm i know of has grain storage. - can’t imagine combining during the daylight hours so you can see how things are working and during the heat of the day. - big job reconstructing but I’m a firm believer you will have that done before you take on more acres and this also allows you that option. Just many wins wins wins for you and your farm..

Every farmer I know has a leg or two. Two of them put up new legs last year. A few have air systems from drier to bins. Just do what you’re doing it will pay off in the long run. Every one I know that put up complete new systems said they struggled financially for years.

[@Wayfarer001]

Huge job,impressive...

[@dale2485]

Blake and the badass bin boys bustin’ butt!

[@dylanhockaday9878]

If you can swing it when you go to put them back up, add two rings to every ben and you should never have to worry about grain storage with the four big band you have and the wet bin would be a real nice set up and in the future maybe you could add a second wet bin, a little taller or a little shorter and run a splitter off of the tube goes to it so you have to wet off the same shoot

[@phillipdickinson8557]

Great job Chris and Blake and crew thank you for sharing and your time was great can't wait for next video thank you

[@todddavis3233]

Making Great Progress ! Can't wait to see them go Back Up !

[@JaredJanhsen]

A lot of that deconstruction was just prep work on the tubes and augers. Once you had all that down and the leg, the bins disassembled like Lego. The above-ground portions of the grain leg looked to be in good shape. You just need the pit. Hopefully everything goes back together without much struggle. I imagine site prep will be the biggest expense putting everything back together.

[@garytimms2951]

I would bring everything home I wouldn't scrap anything out down there I would scrap everything out that needs to be scrapped out from your farm this has been an amazing part of your videos

[@45Deere9500]

If they know it's scrap, which some clearly is, why waste the time, effort, and money to take it home before scrapping it? Unless there's a big enough price difference for scrap, between where the bin site is, and Chris' home, a person would be money ahead to scrap it where it is.

I hope they go up as easy as they come down. Good luck to you, my friend.

[@jimrankin2583]

Biggest thing between a 531 in a 5020 and one in a 6030 is the injection pump. 5020 had a RoosaMaster rotary pump and was not turbocharged while the 6030 has a Bosch in-line pump and was turbocharged and intercooled. The common perception was that the 5020 was underpowered for its weight so lots of them were turned up. They were almost a throwback to the old 2 cylinder diesels that were built to pull and pto power was less of a design goal. Ran a couple of both back in the day and still have one of each here.

[@jimkavalier2831]

Those creased panels were most likely caused by putting in too wet of corn, the corn will stick on the sides and pull the rib down, dad did it once and a renter did it also... fun job replacing a ring halfway up

[@OOpSjm]

That's why "commercial" spec bins have exterior reinforcement for wet corn/grain.

[@JethroHoke-m3z]

I agree Chris that leg is 1000x easier than augers and a grain vac not to mention the speed of a leg

I can smell it, dad sold his three 24' bins last year, had rotten beans on top of the concrete slab to smell all summer while mowing.... buried now luckily

[@dennisbelles9236]

Great day of progress. And I took find it funny how people who have no connection to you or your farm try telling you how you should do things. Yes, some might be constructive criticism. But most I feel is just some people trying to impose their will on others. So keep ignoring them and keep doing things the best that you can with what you have available.

[@KevinHolloway-r5v]

You could always rent storage out to other farmers as long as they carry their own insurance on the crop in the bin ! Think out of the box and make that leg and bin set-up work for you !

[@davidhoffman1570]

Hey Chris there is always somebody looking for extra storage space for product on a good yield year. You could always rent out short term storage. Progress is looking fantastic. I think you are forward thinking and am doing the right thing. Nice to see a group of guys coming together and learning together.

[@dailesperry8256]

Your doing good and as long as you can make the money back for what you spent on it with labour and everything it will save you money long term . If as you say you can do it with out having another loan payment that means you aren't going deeper into debt and are slowly getting were you want to be . Less debt more options and you can store your crop for better prices plus ship out dryer corn for less deduction

[@chriscampbell2327]

I agree with you that the leg will make a difference annd flexibility with you working a one man operation.

the cost difference from what you purchased that bis site vs what it would cost you to put up new is probably WAY in your favor. When you get this up and functioning then your cost to automate is minimal.

I cant see this being to big...if you're able to aquire more ground in the future you might be able to fill all that capacity and make it more worth while...and for the price you paid for it even if you have to buy some new parts like the bottom of the leg and bins you're still ahead on the price of a whole new facility of the same size...plus you already have a bin you picked up last fall that can be added to the whole system...and you have a dryer to dry your corn and soybeans before taking it to market...that alone will save you some cost on drying because Im sure the mill charges far more than just the cost to dry it.
