    I love watching old silos go down like that. It's like they're riding an escalator to a lower floor ... and in the end they're flat. Amazing to watch. Going down!

      Many thanks. It was a first for me and interesting to see good old farming ingenuity. The folk were focused on safety as well as ensuring it was entertaining. It was also very cool to have the local townsfolk show up to see the spectacle...a real nice sense of community!

    I was on crew that built those. Largest one was 110 feet. I also helped take one down that was only about 60 feet. We went over the sides, removing all support rods. Once on the ground, we moved the rods from collapse zone. Then taking sledgehammers, we knocked holes in base; 6 and 12, 3 and 9, 2 and 8, 11 and 5. Then making sure our path to hall assume was clear, we both took out 4 and 7 and ran. In less than 30 seconds the remaining bricks started cracking and about 15 seconds it came straight down in a pile.

    A lot of crazy comments. Concrete silos are not obsolete and are still manufactured and are still used on hundreds of farms across the country. They are mostly used for haylage or corn silage ,but if they're a top sealed with a bottom unloader they can be used for high-moisture corn. They're not the most efficient for large operations, but do keep the feed in a limited amount of ground space and a lot less waste.

      We still use 3 concrete silos on our NY dairy farm. Other than sometimes an unloader issue, they work excellent and keep the farm nice and neat. No wasted plastic from ag bags or spoilage from a bunk silo.

He also owns some amazing Shire Horses, one owns scars on its back from a cougar attack when it was a foal. Evidently it survived, wow what an experience for the poor thing!

      @AaronG303  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes I understand the sentimentality as they were certainly landmarks. I listened to the farmers father described the era they were built and how well they served their purpose. Although sad in a sense to see them go he seemed relieved there wouldnt be any excuse for the "flying rats" to return which were a bit of a problem. They were also aging and was a a call in terms of safety risk.

      I think that the music is perfect for the video.
      I am a South Florida country boy. Grew up working on ranches, in citrus groves and sugar cane fields. I know nothing about grain farming or even feedlot type cattle farming. But I can tell that the crew sitting around the fire drinking some beers and tellin’ good jokes is a bunch that I would feel perfectly comfortable to “Party” with.

    I understand that the silos have out lasted there usefulness. But it away so so many memories of the days when they were Kings of the Farm. Also the landmarks of giving directions to strangers of the neighborhood before all roads received road numbers and not turn right at the farm with the 3 silos go 2 miles turn right at the blue silo and the James place is 1st on left back the shot lane. 😩😩😩

      Gday David - youre spot on. The silos could be seen from miles around and definitely landmarks. There's similar landmark in Fremantle Western Australia which is known for the "Dingo Flour" sign. Folk have created tee shirts to celebrate it and the community views it as an incredibly important landmark.

    They don’t crash so much as they just...dissolve, I guess.
    I’ve been on a silo fire once back when I was a probie with the firehouse, and the way the heat radiates off the sides will mess with your head because it makes you think the damn thing’s actually swaying. They’re worse than chimney fires too because it’s all got to be done by aerial ladders. And as for silo rescues when somebody gets trapped in one of those things-don’t ask.

    You should make a trip to Iowa if you want to see collapsed silos.
    A bunch of Harvestore silos have partially collspsed.
    And just stand in the country skyline bent in contempt of a poor​ integrity design which apparently slumping hay can create a vacuum inside the silo and cave it in.

Also there is a certain freedom felt from being on the land, isolated from "the big smoke" which allows you to clear your mind and appreciate what surrounds you (including the occasional craziness - fun)

      Gday Robert...yes, mute exactly. The music isnt central to the video and I didn't create the video for the music. Its interesting how folk focus on the less obvious. Seems alot of folk felt VERY strongly about the music (which was royalty free) The video was made for the farmer as well as the town folk who saw these as a local landmark. The decision to pull them down was entirely made after careful deliberation by the family and unfortunately in these parts the upkeep to ensure they remained safe around active machinery was weighed up against any heritage value v. the valuable plot space for modernization. The old structures attracted alot of vermin which were using them as home base to migrate and start up colonies in the trailers and other machinery stored close by.

      I believe they were erected in the 70's, the farmer has not mentioned a barn adjacent to them but I could be wrong as he is constantly looking to improve his layout and operations.

    • @AaronG303
      @AaronG303  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      G'day Scott
      The 3rd one was a real struggle, a very stubborn structure! We paused video and the battery was running low on the drone. We decided to collect fence posts for a big fire and whilst we were at the wood heap, the 3rd one came crashing down (with the help of the tractor!

    • @AaronG303
      @AaronG303  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      G'day Scott....we thought the sound would've been deafening however the snow absorbed much of the sound. Much of the louder sound resonated from the sheet-metal domes and the cheer of the crowd LOL The funnies part was when we saw a couple of pigeons escape from the folding dome just a couple of feet above the ground!

    Why not using a longer wire? Just longer than the height of the silo.

    • @AaronG303
      @AaronG303  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! The cable was certainly much longer than the height of the silo. Unfortunately the first one that fell was unexpected. You can see the cable length from the aerial drone footage.

      Hi Sofia, the third one fell the same day. Unfortunately I only had 2 drone batteries to use the whole day and back then flight time for the particular drone I had was 20 mins each battery. Alot of the time the drone was in the air in a waiting pattern.
