New grain silo build.

[Flatlander]

Nice looking bin. What dimensions is it.

 

[Lincsman]

You obviously cannot heap it full, but what protects all the stuff in the roof from falling grain?

There’s a thing a bit like a fertiliser spreader disc which spins and flings the grain outwards as it drops through the top hatch.

42ft diameter, about 30ft to the eaves.

Without being too nosey how does its cost/ tonne compare with a shed with stirrer and drying?

Don’t know, we wanted a silo because it would feed straight into the feed mill, so didn’t price a shed.

Believe a silo is more tax efficient though if we can find a way to make a decent profit in the next few years!

It’s awash with eggs at the moment. Doesn’t stop these sort of consultants trying to pursuade new entrants to go into it so they can charge a fee for their advice though!

Had it running this week, put about 50 tonnes in it before rain stopped play!

Love the view from the top video.
Excellent plan to fit the 20mm gatling gun to neutralise marauding thieves.

I like the big yellow bucket, we used to have an old bath or two laying about with a few hastily found bits of board wedged up the sides.

I think it’s useless, you spend all that money on a grain silo and they give you a yellow tub you can’t open the tailgate over to fully empty the trailer!

 

[Sonoftheheir]

Yeah, it would be better for our 15ft reco augur.

Trinity grain still use plywood panels on the two original pits, you drive over and then put them in place, many years ago when I took my first load up there in acten tonne trailer they didn't tell me the pit only holds a few tonnes, when the pit guy told me to tip the trailer I assumed he meant TIP the trailer, it took 20 minutes to shovel it all back to the pit,
