when you climbed the silo, I remembered how last week you climbed up on the back of a truck and fell. I'm glad you did not fall. most people have not a clue how dangerous working on a Farm can really be.
I know your a small family operation but you should really practice lock-out/tag-out whenever you enter those bins you just never know when or why someone may throw that switch back on.
I remember the very first video i came upon u, it was u sitting on top of one of ur silo's. gave me the willey's for quite some time, as this one too. I am definitely afraid of heights, always was, and still am.
You should think about a safety rope/harness when going into the bin. There were a few guys around this part of WI that the corn shifted and were partially buried and the rope/harness allowed them to pull themselves out since no one else was around to watch them.
We still have our blue Harvestore but haven't used it in years since we sold all our hogs I will say that the blower you use to fill it with is loud lol
Actually you are incorrect those bags keep the cooling of the night temp from collapsing the silo. Hot air expands by day deflating the bags. Cold nighttime temps create a low pressure inside allowing outside air in but keeping Oxygen out of the silo allowing the heating of the day and cooling at night. There is a third valve there to relieve excess pressure and allow some air in to equalize pressure. Taking material out too fast will suck in one of these
Dustin Hruzek Bins are mainly used strictly for grain storage. Harvestors are made for silage, but can also be used to store grain. The difference is that high moisture silage needs to be sealed air tight to keep it from spoiling so Harvestors are air tight. If you notice on the lids, there is a danger sign that says there isn't enough oxygen inside to support life. That's why there is that bag in there, it makes it air tight. Now that bag lets air into the outside edge of the Harvestor from collapsing due to the high moisture silage fermenting and using up he oxygen inside the bag, creating a vacuum. You can put 30% moisture corn in the Harvestor and it will keep (since its air tight) were as in a bin, you need to dry it down to 15% or less to make it keep.
always protected.. its a small town, you were usually in trouble before you got home if you did something stupid when you were young, its impossible for everyone not to know your business.. :)
Is that really safe just jumping into that corn bin without checking the air in there? You wouldn't believe the procedure for doing that in an industrial setting.
It's safe. You may choose to worry if you were running the burners and didn't leave the fan run long enough to blow any lingering fumes out. The biggest concern would be if you were drawing corn out of the bottom and there could possibly be bridged grain that could collapse. The stirators solve that problem effectively.
How Farms Work Entering a bin like that is totally unsafe. He should be wearing a safety harness and not be alone. It only takes a second and your dead. Follow safety procedures always.
When I get onto something high like that, my feet go to aching. Guess they're trying to grow suction cups....lol. Anyhow it always that sudden stop after a fall that worries me.

The skiddy moves that wagon pretty nice

Great video. Here in west central MN it was in the 60's today. Way above normal temps for Nov. 6th.

Seeing you standing up there makes me feel like I am falling! lol
Great vid!

I hate getting up on them, even my house roof makes me shake haha
if you are drying level the corn in the bin as change the air flow through the corn to help the process.
Hey big fan all the way from Madison, Wi down here it is mid 60s
You know that vent cap also makes a great camping stew pot.
As an X Harvester employee i'v made just about everything you see on the Harvester...
dam fine vid pard! FARM ON!! My best freind lives in antigo wis! lol I'm way over here in Idaho!
We still have our blue Harvestore but haven't used it in years since we sold all our hogs I will say that the blower you use to fill it with is loud lol
not so much the blower, it's the corn going up the steel tube
You should show the stirators running
I hate heights, I would have ground bulk storage for silage. One slip and you're in trouble.
You could take a can of air duster with you to blow the slippy corn flour away and wear a Safety Harness.
Is there a video that shows the air bags?
When are you gonna show your newholland tractor?
Do you fill all the harvesters full????
no he said they only put 3 loads in

How does the harvestore deal with snow? Wouldnt it block the vents?
put footage of switching to beans
How come you don't put a sock on the end of the chute on top of the loading auger?
do you have any problems with the corn sticking to the bin when you have to dry it?
It looks like you have a Dickey John M3 moisture tester. Is it reliable/accurate and would you recommend it?
Did you guys get a new gravity wagon
how long do you think you will have to run the dryers for to get the moisture down??....
week
what kind of camera do you use and do you do any other kind of crops other than corn
So thats not futured corn that your storing ?
when climbing the bins I hope you didn't have flash backs of climbing the trailer the other day
what is the difference between the bin and the harvester?

ih1206 Thanks for the good explanation. Harvesters arn't something we have in the south.
Did you guys put gps on the 7600?
Avery Spellmeyer I think that was a becon on the roof
Is the place where u are somewhere in England or somewhere else
USA
how do you keep mice out of the bin?
how many acres do you have in total 😀
Do you keep your machinery out in the field with nobody looking after it over the night?
+jazko Our machinery is always protected.
jazko most farmers do these days least down here in Texas but some do lock the doors if that
thats kind of a weird question to ask. seems to me like you want to go take it.
always protected.. its a small town, you were usually in trouble before you got home if you did something stupid when you were young, its impossible for everyone not to know your business.. :)
Haha not really, just where me and my father do farming it is highly dangerous to leave your machines unattended.
Whar are you from in Wisconsin
so corn at $3.07 x 20,000 bushels would equal $61,000 that dose't seen like a lot to run the farm how much would you normally bring in for corn
Kyle Catchpole Then you need to factor in the costs to grow that corn, and to dry it. Adds up quick
+Kyle Catchpole We're nowhere near 100% storage capacity. How much corn we've got just depends on the yield.
Luke Baumgartner factoring costs would be hard to do since I don't pay their taxes I only meant to put it as a general statement
Kyle Catchpole I know. I' was just pointing out how you don't get all that money because a lot went into growing the crop. Not looking for specifics.
Why don't you buy one more harvester? ;) P.S. u have great videos ;)
I was thinking the same

I'd say on top of that silo is a pucker factor of a 10.
tarfoot Our 60 ft Harvestore never bothred me. But on top, i always kept on foot against something so I couldn't slide.
When I get onto something high like that, my feet go to aching. Guess they're trying to grow suction cups....lol. Anyhow it always that sudden stop after a fall that worries me.
it wouldn't bother me as much to be on the thing as to watch it through the camera. Gad, I was getting dizzy
You really should've LOCKED OUT that electrical panel
It would keep someone else from starting it by mistake.
