Great time lapse video Tim! I'm looking forward to seeing the bin when its completed and taking its first crop! Hope all is well this fall! Thanks for sharing
Yes, He is. I told SF the other day that I had heard a song on the radio and the just of it was, if we have done all we can do just sit back and watch what God will do. Not what he "can" but what he "will" do. Remember that the Israelites in the old testament had good kings and bad king, but God was always there.
At this point I'm only putting a fan on it. The dealer think I should be able to dry down 19% corn using the temperature humidity chart to run the fan. The dealer also said if I needed to have heat on it that a salamander heater would work in a pinch for no more then I should need heat. Will see. This year is working out with the corn between 14% to 17% right out of the fields.
Wait till part 3, that is when they put the fan, floor and finish things up. I just finished corn today and it all went in the bin. We had really bad deer, coon, and other animal damage, so it only did 126bpa. Very disappointed for the 65 gal side dress that was put on. One field when dropping off the grain cart I could hear them fighting in the corn field. There were 1/4 acre spots in fields all knocked down from the deer. Several spots like that in the fields. I've never seen it that bad before.
That might have been the 2nd time, lol. The 3 guys had been doing a lot of bins just this year. I didn't ask them how long they have been working together. I know the one has been there 20+ years and the other one has been the about 5 years.
Good deal with your foundation that tall, so much nicer to just slide an auger hopper under the unload and be ready to go, instead of having to dig/clean out a hole every time. My shivvers drying bin has a concrete “bowl” under the unload, always having to clean that thing out is aggravating. Last bin I put up I extended the unload auger 4 feet out where the ground slopes away, easy to set the auger and hoping it’s out far enough I can match the next bin up with it and use a permanent auger for two bins.
They recommend that we go with 2ft foundation. It was a lot more concrete and stone but like you said, in the end it will be worth it. Thanks for watching.
TAH-DAH Farm what a difference a few hundred miles makes.. almost every bin around here except for the big ones are poured on an above ground slab. I moved a 24’ bin a couple years ago that was set on a poured above ground slab, 6” thick. Only had one crack in it and wasn’t buckled. Was told it was poured out of a 3 point hitch cement mixer a bit at a time back in the mid 80’s.
The 80's, back when things were built better. I looked at buying a used bin and moving it. Most were on a slab or asphalt with no flood or unloading auger. It didn't cost that much more for a new bin.
TAH-DAH Farm nope, like they say, the concrete and electric costs the same for a new bin as it does a used one. Only ones I’ve moved are 2 I already owned and trying to get everything in one place. Would never buy one to move at any price.
There is 4 rows of rebar on the sides about a foot apart from the bottom of the trench to about 8" from the top. The wire is only on the top but does go to the sides. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks, just finished corn today and it is all in the bin. Video coming soon.
Awesome Tim , good news is always appreciated, with all going on, I just got to remember that GOD is still on the throne and in control

So far so good, I assume this will have a dryer in it also?

Good video. I hope you like your new bin. There’s some old 7500s on the farmstead here but new ones are prettier
Thank you, I'm enjoying it already.
beautiful floor!

Nice addition
Thanks, Just put the 1st load of corn in today. Evan had the fan running for a while.
Thx for video very useful
I thought these guys at North Star Hardware and Implement here in Ohio did a fantastic job.
I don't think that was there first time putting a ben foundation in. They did a nice job.

Good deal 👍🏿
Thanks
That is the strangest foundation I have ever seen.
It went up 8 rings. So it needs to support the same as a bin 50' in diameter. It needs to support about 900# per square foot.
Who ever says that is crazy. Same as a 50' diameter bin. Lmao

That's an over kill on Crete. If ur worried bout clearance just put on a 25 degree
That little bit of wire at the end is not enough the money spent on concrete I would put rebar in there

very painful to watch, I think you guys need to find a new profession
I'm sorry you feel that way, but I enjoyed working with them and thought that they all did a great job. Thanks for watching.
