IN the 70's when I worked for my brother... we moved 2 3500 bu bins 10 miles......We hired a logging Helicopter that was working in the area for $500.....Took about an hour.... We did it one Sunday morning Quite a sight to see the helo coming across the trees with the bin hung under neath.......His sling had a quick release He could put more logs on the deck than 25 trucks could haul away
I wish someone thought of small movable bins down here. I could use one or two. It may take me a few years to need the tens of thousands of bushel storage capacity.
Why not pour cement with rebar? We have a 4000 bushel 21 ft diameter bin too close to the milk room septic drain field that the original concrete floor settled over time and 2 inch wide cracks opened up about 1 1/2 ft inside from the walls. So my brother & i poured a ordered cement mix with fiberglass fibers & lots of rebar. It fixed it good. The water table water was wicking up through the cracks, up through the corn all the way to the top of the grain bin. 4 inches thick rotten corn stuck to the walls enough to fill 1 new holland manure spreader full every year. But i've seen worse! My very very green neighbor crop farmer, when he first started farming filled an entire 48'x150' pole shed with 30,000 bushels 18%+ moisture corn one winter up into the rafters and it all spoiled turned black/brown!
We bought 3 westeel-roscoe bins from a neighbor and put them on steel floors we bought in Estevan, Saskatchewan. They came with self tapping screws to fasten the bin to the floor. Where did you get your floors at?
I c the bins sit on the ground an not having a footing built up or on a concrete pad to allow for rain an snow to stay away do u get much spoilage or moisture in the bottom of them bins?
Are you going to do any videos of working your cattle this fall like weaning and bringing cows home for the winter or have you made some of these type videos earlier and I missed them.
You are right... I hate them... They are so 80s haha. The only good thing is they are easy to move to the farm when you buy them... dont need special permits to road them. But yea way to small. I want to build two 15 thousand bushel bins.
lol,,it's gonna hold water,,that's that tire lifting method,,you got lucky,lol,,crush those side walls that way,,danger,danger,Northern Farmer you better tar the heck out of it,,hope the best ,expect the worse.
ok,,but when rain run down the side of the bin,,you would have to seal around the seam,,or water would seep in. We TAR the heck out of new bins,,all internally,,before floor installation,,CAULK around door seam, I suppose I really didn't get the whole picture. Didn't see a pad,,unload auger,fan, and I am no expert at all,,built ?dozen + new MFS, from 30 to 60 ft,,8 -22 ring , all new stuff,,feed mills,,legs,,service old. Like I said before,,hope the best,expect the worst,,and GOD BLESS THE FARMER. Ya'll have a Blessed Season,,for the next 100 Generation's. thanx for the small talk.

Thats awesome.... would have liked to see that!!

Yea that is the one good thing about them... I can move them from other peoples farms no problem.
very interesting to watch and thanks for showing us another job in the life of a farmer.
No Problem.
I really enjoyed watching.
:)
Great job what could possible go wrong.
very good video great team work my friend happy days
thanks
That old floor came off slicker than dog snot, as my dad use to say.
It was pretty easy for sure.
I see a advantage to this new steel base more capacity you just made the bin at least a foot taller
Yes... These are just 10 inch rise floors... we have a few with the bin booster floor.. they are 2 feet high.
that's pretty cool never seen a bin with wood floors
These size of bins have a lot of wooden floors

I would pour cement on a big bin... but these are just 14 round bins...I can move them in the future or sell them if we build a bigger one.
nice work boys! been there done this B4 it's a pain in the BUTT lol but well worth it!
Thanks man... lol
We bought 3 westeel-roscoe bins from a neighbor and put them on steel floors we bought in Estevan, Saskatchewan. They came with self tapping screws to fasten the bin to the floor. Where did you get your floors at?
I bought them at a auction... The menonites made them
fine job
omg where did you get that floor from... we have 3 bins that need floors
Bought them at a auction. There are lots of manufactures that make them in Ab and sask
Wouldn't it be ideal to have a few mid sized stiffened bins to avoid a bin collapse?
They only collaspe when they dont have stiffeners
old how's, but there still good, we just sold an 892 ELC. engine drank the oil, so last fall we said goodbye. got a Deere 350g to replace it.
Yea its been alright for what I use it for.
I c the bins sit on the ground an not having a footing built up or on a concrete pad to allow for rain an snow to stay away do u get much spoilage or moisture in the bottom of them bins?
With the steel floor there is no moisture to get in ... Thats why they are so much better. That why Wood sucks.
Are you going to do any videos of working your cattle this fall like weaning and bringing cows home for the winter or have you made some of these type videos earlier and I missed them.
Sure am... 40 head have to come home by oct 1 because they are in a rented pasture
I've always wonder why you guy have bunch a small bins, and not a few bigger ones. I'm sure there is a reason for it just wanted to know.
You are right... I hate them... They are so 80s haha. The only good thing is they are easy to move to the farm when you buy them... dont need special permits to road them. But yea way to small. I want to build two 15 thousand bushel bins.
I don't understand how you only have 2,898 sub's, with your vids you should have a hell of a lot more, let's get er going...lol..
I agree this guy is awsome
Thanks.... glad you enjoy the videos.
How many bushels do those bins hold?
They are 2000 bushels approximitly. Depends on the crop to... Usually you can fill one super b with one.
Thanks
what part of Canada are you from? i have relations on an island just off of Vancouver
Grand Prairie Alberta.....a couple thousand kilometers away from Vancouver Island.
Keith Brettell a lot of driving. but eh, thats why we have planes
Grand Prairie ? are you sure.
Kilhamjim I asked the same question so ya I'm sure it's Grand Prairie.
I seem to remember a few videos back it was mentioned they were at High Prairie. Not that its important but just saying.
How come u guys dont pore a concrete floor?
They are not ment to be permanent. I can see pouring cement for big bins... but these may be sold in the future
lol,,it's gonna hold water,,that's that tire lifting method,,you got lucky,lol,,crush those side walls that way,,danger,danger,Northern Farmer you better tar the heck out of it,,hope the best ,expect the worse.
Dry as a bone 2 years now
wow,,ain't gonna doubt you,,and you never sealed it? God Bless the Farmer!!
Thats the beauty of them.. they wont leak cause they are off the ground
ok,,but when rain run down the side of the bin,,you would have to seal around the seam,,or water would seep in. We TAR the heck out of new bins,,all internally,,before floor installation,,CAULK around door seam, I suppose I really didn't get the whole picture.

It cant because the bing slides over on the outside of the floor... this way water cant get in...
