Farm sale corn bin price

[jacobl741]

What could I expect a good galv 4 ton Collinson feed silo to fetch in a farm sale?

Haven’t a clue, location might be a factor but someone was asking for one on a Facebook group a couple of weeks back and a dealer in bins commented that there aren’t any smaller size bins available second hand at the moment so you might have something sought after.

Google Jim Ford bins, he came up as top hit for me, he might be interested

Sorry, my mistake.
It would seem small bins are in demand at the moment but that might be area specific.

A good starting point might be to price up a new one, might help in valuing the second hand one.

Were they in good order?

 

[Enfoff]

Yes one really good the other good - apart from the dent. I should have bought them but I want something bigger and already put a base in for one big one. They were the only livestock related stuff at the sale that didn't make stupid money.

Not everybody that can move them can't just go hook it up to tractor and drag it home

Yes I know how it can be done but not everybody who would want to tackle it, then you have to get someone to do it then if your anything but local haulage will add up so not be such a cheap bin compared to a new one delivered and erected

30 years ago we shifted a 27ft high 9 ton bin on long legs armed with nothing but a tractor and trailer, Land Rover and a couple of ropes.
Dropped trailer in front of bin, two ropes to top of bin, one to tractor to pull, other over top of shed to Land Rover to hold back.
Land Rover driver couldn’t see what was going on so it was all shouting and a bit of guesswork but all turned out well...........oh, and it was a Sunday morning and we were all hung over

Yeh, did a 20 tonnes bin like that. Put some 4 by 4 bracing in and winched it onto a tipper trailer stood up. Strapped it on and dropped the trailer.
