Building of a silage bunk

[@robertbradford2734]

That's many yard of concrete you guys don't mess around you get it done been watching a while now I'm back looking at old stuff loving it.👍👍

[@kevingordon7426]

Thanks for the sky shots. Neat to see the farm from the sky. Quite an operation. Gator comes in handy for that size of area.

[@rodneyerdmann1545]

Very interesting to see what it all takes to build these bunks! Great video! Hope it all pays off for you in the years to come!

[@rambobroughton7456]

Awesome, thank's andy for showing us how a bunk is built.

[@sterlingspencer2934]

We used to pour 12 inch thick walls 60 feet high at the local paper mill. Takes a lot of bracing to do that .looks like you are doing a fine job on the walls.

[@rongrose3746]

Admire your operation !! Do not see how you do it with the price of milk. Love the videos and all your nice equipment ! Be safe .

[@devo1167]

you make an awesome job on that ! Keep up the great work !

[@lomparti]

The size of your operation is staggering. How do you keep track of everything? Your farm is literally the size of a small town and it even has a street running through it!! lol Crazy

[@stanleyjones4180]

they did a good job thanks for showing us

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thanks for the comment

[@toolmaker6510]

pretty cool video thanks for sharing with us

[@kevinfarmer5895]

Great video.

[@JonDingle]

You have set up there young man. How many head of livestock do you have that can consume all that feed in those bunkers?

[@kopenhagenkid]

Awesome operation nice silage bunk

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thanks

[@sharonromer6606]

Wow...what a job.

[@Vijay-nb6qw]

which shuttering used for wall?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

?

[@curtweatherbee2523]

Yes Andrew I would love to see that video and check it out take care🤓

[@dougmouse2278]

I watch your videos every day on KZbin looking for a job

[@johnnyholland8765]

Good looking project. Glad I didn't have to write the check for it....... Long term investment but it will pay off for the operation in the long run.

[@mikebonge7206]

Really expensive

[@sterlingspencer2934]

Those concrete trucks haul between 9.25 and 10 yards because of weight limitations on the roads. Any more and they would tear the roads up too bad.that is a really nice power screed.

[@cntslesfabrication]

How many tons of dirt did they have to remove for this? Did you keep the dirt or did you have it hauled off?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

CNTSLES fabrication most of it went in along South Wall the remainder we used as fill

[@stephendunham9597]

I went to BOCES for Heavy Equipment Operating back in high school almost 25 years ago. I had a buddy in that class for two years his name was Rob Marshall, I'm wondering if that's his dad's or his buissnes!? He was from Stockbridge if I remember correctly.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Stephen Dunham not sure

[@5thgen916]

Do you have a schedule when the adjoining bunk will be built? Enjoyed your documentation of this one and happy to live a little vicariously through your next expansion phase also!

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

5th Gen no really don't per say have anything in the near future planned for existing bunks. This one we have planned on doing several years ago

[@documentaryreal1348]

How much silage can be stored in this bunker?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

6-8,000 ton

[@lukebriggs501]

The trucks we have around here are 9 yards a truck but those are a little bit different style, I would say they are about the same though

[@synagone4821]

How much do these run?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Synagone couple hundred thousand

[@synagone4821]

Andrew Hourigan oh we have one in a hill like yours it 200x50 but no concrete just highway blocks for walls and 6 100 40 bunker covers for the floor but it works also would you ever go grain bunker route

[@braderwin937]

I'm afraid to ask what this cost I just poured 80 yards almost 13,000 my small operation don't even stand a chance against an organized operation like this

[@nathancarder1822]

How many bunks do you have

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

12

[@chuckrick7564]

Can you do a video on you’re triple mower please

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Chuck Rick that could happen today

[@chuckrick7564]

Awesome

[@jordanwilson8676]

We run silos and wish we could switch to bunker be a expensive switch

[@johndeere709]

Cool

[@r-services8979]

id like to see the trucks switching boxes...…..

[@jimcivitello3913]

Curious as to why you are building it that way as opposed to the prefab bunker walls? Im guessing for longevity? As the prefab walls tend to get weak over the years, atleast the ones that we have at work.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Jim Civitello our first 2 bunks that we had built were pre Fab. They were 8' tall and worked good while we were using them. As time went on poured walls made better sense, we had some spoiling issues with the pre Fab walls, the seems between the concrete slabs allowed for spoilage.

[@jimcivitello3913]

Andrew Hourigan yes we get some spoilage also almost always at the joints between the prefab panels. We currently only have 1, 2 sided bunk and another single wall bunk that we are able use. The rest gets packed in a pile on a paved area, not ideal by any means.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Jim Civitello drive over piles works good, an option for the walls with the seems is to lay plastic against them it's just a pain to deal with.

[@farmman454545]

How many tons will that hold?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

farmman454545 5,000-6,000 tons

[@donald1056]

This is costing a few dollars

[@marcelpick2972]

How can the average farmer afford anything like this? I think your not sure what is going on here, you must be watching off a vidio, shows how much you know

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Marcel Pick I'm not sure what you mean about me not knowing what's going on in the video. It's a bunk that we just recently had built for us.

[@sterlingspencer2934]

I think Andy knows exactly what is going on as with all the things he videos . Beside it would be ashamed to write the check for all that concrete and not know what is going on. Great job Andy!
