Barn Poly Silo Feed Bin with Auger

We installed a silo poly feed bin with auger for 5000lbs of feed to make access for the girls and farm hands to feed easily.

I'm sure others have said this but I must echo, having your children work alongside and learn weather girls or boys is GREAT! My girls are in their 30's now [I'm no farmer] but I taught them all I could about power tools shovels and gardening while they were growing up.

I'd put a (big) flat washer between your anchor bold and the flange, to better prevent tear-out.

Nice build

Nice job!!

[@grier94107]

Maybe a dumb question, from a non farmer: what's the reason for not setting this up on a timer, and routing the chute directly to the goats feeding container, in order to remove the need for the internal feeding storage bin and manual labor?

[@dudewheresmyhorse625]

We are looking at these for our grain storage. Any issues with grain getting moldy?

[@RMSpeltzFarm]

Not for us, but that might have to do with many factors like how long it takes to empty it, is the grain in it whole or crushed, sugars added like molasses wet or dry etc....

Where did you find the auger? Can you also link me to your video of the co concrete pad install?
