My brother decided it was time for these silos to come down. His method of destruction is very interesting...

When I was younger I got hired to clean a couple tons of sour silage out of a silo. After 30 minutes of being inside breathing the vapors I was higher than a kite. Lots of fresh air and ventilation is definitely a must.
@tomrogers94673 жыл бұрын
Yes, it’s called alcohol - produced by the fermentation of the silage. It evaporates and you breathe and absorb it into your blood. Also more than enough CO-2 to kill you as well.

We had to take down an old grain silo when I was living in Georgia. We marked the area to be removed with paint. We gave Beuford a 16 pound sledgehammer and told him to go to work, but be ready to get out of the way. Now Beuford was was strong as an ox, but not very smart. He ate a LOT of paint chips when he was little. Well, after an hour we heard this tremendous"crack" and saw the silo going down. We lost sight of poor Beuford due to the dust, and thought he might be dead. But when the dust cleared, there he was with this guilty look in his face. He said, "I didn't mean for it to fall over, but I promise to rebuild it."

The best and safest way to take down stave silos, is to loosen the bottom 4 feet of hoops and then shoot out the bottom row of staves on the side you want the silo to fall. A 30 caliber rifle or shotgun slugs work great!

Agreed. And he has kept himself safe by using the wrecking 'ball' instead of driving into the fall area. Also he has been at ninety degrees to the line of the fall at all times. Seems to me the video has been titled by someone who feels that only an 'expert' can do something. And the commenters are mostly armchair experts.
