Better than one of those TV dinners

Opening up hi-moisture corn silo and lowering unloader

[@larrytucker5950]

People need to know there is more to farming than the tractor seat. Thank you for the videos.

That’s what my Dad always told me when he was handing me a shovel to clean manure!

[@guydaubenspeck9206]

Anytime that you have livestock and I don't care what it is cattle sheep hogs goats whatever there is an awful lot of work that falls between tractor rides

[@james-we6fr]

Sad thing is that most people won’t understand until they get a little piece of the action. They just can’t fathom what it takes.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

It's a risky situation, and Andy assumes that risk himself, and doesn't pass it on to anyone else. That's the kind of person you want to work for.

[@davidshay4773]

I just wanted to say thank you Andy for doing your videos I look forward to seeing them every time you put one out 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

I have never got to see the operation of a silo unloaded. Thank you very much for the demonstration, Andy.

Andy , Three Doors Down was a helluva good rock and roll band ! That was the first thing I thought when you were explaining the silo operation . Always enjoy watching your mechanical abilities and how hard you and your kids work !

Always nice to see how well your family works together

It's is golden to see a family working together. Thanks andy. Florida Joe

[@m.webber5118]

When Nate turns the unloader on, wow! That sound takes me back! I no longer have an upright silo.😊 Cool Thanks!👍

That's the most amazing machine I've ever seen inside of a silo.Thanks for showing that to us.👍👍

I’m sure some will take exception with being in the silo unloader running. Sometimes you just have to accept the risk to make things work

Great videos really enjoy seeing family work together

[@tolipydob]

Thanks again Andy! It is fun and interesting to see 'who' often does what task and wonder why it is so. When you were fitting pedal adjustments on the Roxor it was obvious Andrew was gonna want to swoop driving anything possible. Your daughters seem to have that base covered as well. All the while someone somewhere is complaining about nepotism, LOL! I see you went with the wireless BT PPE safety squints and dust filter! ;-)

[@DPCCGM]

Had to pause the video and go out to the shed and get my respirator, was getting hard to breathe giving me flashbacks to my silo days. After watching even had to take a shower I was itching so bad! Still a great video!

That is touch job Andy. It always very interesting to see you guys work on stuff. A dirty dirty job. Thanks 😊

[@davidholder3207]

On top of the corn in the silo "Lets Do The Corn Dance Again" was my thought as you cleared the junk on the surface of the corn towards the down shute.

[@donniehodge2548]

Another good one Andy 🐄 🇺🇲 👍

[@AlextheDutchDairyfarmer]

[@johnhenderson299]

You need to pass the silo work onto the next generation great video

[@JonDingle]

That has to be one of the nastiest jobs to do on your farm Andy. A big vertical climb, crud, plastic and then incredible dust to deal with. Bad for the lungs for sure and a condition known as "Farmers Lung" here in the UK.

[@jackwillie2729]

Dad had 3 of those silos 90 ft. Ht. ...I was always a bit worried as when you climbed the footing steps were always slippery...What a Climb you had

[@jimpolk]

Good show Andy. I'd be afraid to climb those silos by myself.

One of the "fun" parts of silo's. It has to get done either way.

[@Husker3435]

G’job Hourigan family, hope y’all had a great and safe Independence Day 🇺🇸keep em comin Andy

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Andy, I know it's a pain in the tuckus, but you should seriously consider at least a dust mask. Heck, I get stuffed up just grinding dry corn in the open, and I know what molds are in ground grain that has been stored a while. I know gas isn't an issue in that silo, but dust definitely is.

[@farmingfishingfamilyontari2814]

I’ve spent my share of time in silos. Can’t say I’ve ever had lunch up There tho. Hahah

[@TheGrumpyFarmer]

The surface drive ones got better when they finally went to the big wheel kits instead of those small drive wheels those were a disaster

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Yeah that’s typical for it to settle that much

[@sharonromer6606]

🤗👍🇺🇸

[@bobsyouruncle1574]

Man, after the fungal sinus infection I had early this year, when that dust kicked up I held my breath! Don't know if you've had any issues with mold but it was like breathing through a rag soaked with window cleaner all day.

[@jocalafarms4051]

Surprised, Bryne doesn't have you sipping chocolate milk.

[@hermanbishop5275]

I got sick from molded corn, almost like pneumonia

[@seanthomas1481]

People doesn't realize what it takes to make a cheese burger this weekend.

[@robertwilson93]

Maybe a roof fan would be handy to draw all that dust out

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

Thanks for sharing Andy. Not to bad a know it all or nose into your business here.. okay? But we always kept a shovel right on the unloaded just for cleaning the junk off the top.. just saying..

[@TheGrumpyFarmer]

I never put corn in a cement silo before because I had the harvestore. Is that what it normally settles when you grind it and put it in there about three doors.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

We had a couple of old silo matics with the small 12-15” wheels in hi moisture corn that weren’t bad. They wouldn’t have been too good in haylage or corn silage. We had a patz unloader with the large wheel that came with a farm we bought. Really with that for 2 years and tore the silo down and put it back up here.

[@dannycook7042]

We're looking for one I'm in Michigan but we could get it hauled

[@rickburns8492]

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

We spread it in the fields

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Hello Andy enjoyed your video. I never liked going up in the silo but it had to be done. How many acres to fill that silo? Thanks have a good day.

[@Adam_Poirier]

So the sandwich was just in the bucket? That's lucky lol

[@Darryl603]

Do you judge how far to let the unloader down by the amount of amps you see on the meter? Thanks, Andy!

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Kinda

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

To slow

[@mattphillips4260]

how wet is that corn now

[@MarkFox]

Is there a reason why silos don't pull product from the bottom like a regular grain bin? Not a farmer here just enjoy Andy's videos and genuinely curious. Setting up that unloader from the top looks like a huge pain in the ass.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Some do this one doesn’t

[@gavinperry7237]

10th Generation Dairyman has various videos using the bottom load silos but they are replacing with top load silos due to maintenance issues with bottom load plus cost per ton to operate advantage of top load over bottom load.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

@@gavinperry7237 I have 2 bottom unload silos that we just simply don’t use anymore…..

@@FarmingFixingFabricating Thank you for replying Andy I was thinking with it being high moisture corn might have something to do with it but I guess not.

can't you make a rubber lip from an old conveyor belt to cover the door opening where the chain is mounted to avoid the dust in the stairwell
