If that silo was 100, that excavator looked like it was at least 50.

Pretty Good Demo Vid! Where's it at?

I crashed a similar force, but in a different way: recovery tank VT-55 (winch power up to 100 tons). Around the loop strength of wire rope winch and pulley over 2-max power. My VT-55: V12, capacity 40 liters, 580 hp power, weight 45 tons, the consumption of 260-1150 liters diesel / 100km. about 1 hour of work, 350 liters of diesel and most importantly it was safe.

much better option. videos like this end up with dead people. thanks for sharing.

Looks like the right way to do that job. Don't use expensive stuff, and keep a safe distance. Somewhat like taking down a tree. Explosives are for those constructions that you can't take down any other way.

have you ever driven through iowa?

was the music intended to scare us into thinking a boogy monster was going to come out of the silo. I was on pins and needles the whole time.

to make room for usable crop? or even a new silo maybe? -_-

Nicely done...

Should have left it as the leaning silo of Piza. But seriously, damned if they didn't build that thing to last!

100 years?? was prably built in the late 40's or 1950's.

Nice video. I've seen guys use a maul and just walk around it knocking staves out by hand. This looks like less work tho : )

I tore old stuff down on my farm and now years later, I regret it. There's just some things the younger generation will never get to see or esperiment.

That was a big risk... It could have easily gone wrong.

Ha ha! I have a video of a silo almost the same...Taken down with a beam and a Cat 225 like this and it also dropped but did not fall over. I pushed it the rest of the way down. My beam was also on a set of dollies instead of chained directly to the bucket. But very very similar video!

A lot of things happened in 2008. We had the recession, and I think my Grandad had a stroke that year. He died in 2016, _exactly_ 8 years after this video was uploaded.

I love silos and the earthmovers that love them

Nein,

They even brought out the timpani player and chorus for the occasion.

Old Marietta silo?

amazing its like it disintegrated when it fell

Most of these tall silo's are being replaced by the "sausage" tubes that lay horizontal on the ground. They're easier to fill and unload and are air-tight.

@freethoughtmusic Nope it was old and crumbling so they took it down before a kid got crushed by it. This farm is over 2000 acres and will never be a subdivision its in the deed FYI

Well done

Impresionante. Ye felicito

.........That music..........sound down!!

I sure hate to see all the old farms disappearing. It's all big business factory farms anymore.

I haven't seen a silo when I was little

I thought so too, guess you can't buy a silo remover, LMAO it was neat to see it fall tho.

why u no use superman?

Right operator

I was thinking the same thing!

silos and water towers have been dropping like flies hear lately

1:12 reminds me of my first time

Think about how much grain has been through there in the past century. The number of meals it made. The families who ate it. The generations who grew up on it. I suppose it had to be done, but I always hate to see old buildings come down. Just one more piece of history lost to the pages of a history book, if that.

If you listen to this video without watching it I swear to God it sounds like Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

why not punch 2 holes through it and feed a cable through attach it to the dozer and pull

@popace The walls are like paper, but hey, the equipment is heavy.

if only fred dibna was still alive.he'd of brought that down using only fire RIP fred

Need an updated machine

nice drop

Thats sad. The history of an old farmer who worked his ass off to get that silo.

There is no nicer machine than a 200 series Cat.

It sucks that this thing had to be torn down.Man....

much cheaper and safer if dynamite was strategically placed. 10 stick of dyno is 50 bucks whole sale....the fuel that the track hoe uses cost way more not to mention wear and tear. still a cool vid though. : )

music name?

3:14 LEANING TOWER OF PISA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yah let the wind blow its awsome when it fel and didnt crack the structure very strong indeed =)

Yep C:

Just like cutting down a tree. I had to slide the cursor along to speed it up cuz the realtime process was too slow. Try 'time-lapse' next time. Works great for demo jobs!!!

leaning tower of pizza man...this is America..

get in there all nice and deep like

3.14 Oops, didn't expect that to happen. 3.35 That's better.

leaning tower of piza

Anything that lets you stay farther back from the structure you're wrecking.

3:24, Leaning tower of pizza

OMG!!HEFTIG!!

whATSa silo?

3:17 Leaning tower of pisa!!!!!!

That was good, but you didn't make the "mouth" of the cut high enough.

just poke it gently until it dies

100 years old ? why would you tear it down ? its historycal now

dreakheart would’ve fallen down. The concrete slabs rot from the inside

wait.... 9/11 physics suggests this should have collapsed in on its own footprint instantly. whoa! weird how it didnt just crumble and pancake down from that first drop. ;)

да,цивилизация.. у меня бы с кувалдой пол дня ушло..

Bei 3:15 Sehen sie den schiefen Turm von Pisa

I'm just the producer not the demo man lol

Just call George W and he'll put a plane through it for ya.

i want my money back

Looks like you could bring this down by throwning rocks at it, so i guess its a good thing it came down before it fell down on someone.

A kid with heavy plant machinery and a battering ram?

Gotta love seeing 100 year old landmarks demolished, huh? I guess condominiums are far more important.

pizaa

LA TORRE DE PIZA kkkkkkkkk..

Most likely was what's known as an attractive nuisance. An old timer standing as an sentinel to time passing isn't worth the death or injury of kids whose only crime other than trespassing was looking to have a little fun.

5 minutes of my life.....

Why isn't there anyone protesting the destruction of this historical structure? Relax folks it's called sarcasm.

3:17

Proper amateurs... Apart from the risk of damage to the excavator, that is just stupid. All they need to do is to run a long steel cable round the silo, both ends onto a large caterpillar type bulldozer and pull. The thing would just collapse on the spot..

That's BS! They didn't make fancy machines like that 100 years ago!!!

I took one down with a six lb maul

lol

1:20 is classed as porn

older silos are constructed with brick and not as tall

That could have fallen on the Machine then the Driver would have been Brown Bread, Not the way to do things, got away with it this time.

It's no good and can collapse at any time. Plus, the inside is probably all rotted out so they couldn't store anything in it anyways.
