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! ;-)

@MorganOtt-ne1qj5 күн бұрын
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.
@bobsyouruncle15745 күн бұрын
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.

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.
@FarmingFixingFabricating5 күн бұрын
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.
@TheGrumpyFarmer5 күн бұрын

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.
