Another very informative video. This one, though, was more intense that the first one the I viewed. Again, my hats off to your personal for working safely and efficiently in order to take as much danger out as possible.

I'm fascinated by your videos. Very interesting stuff.

I was raised in the middle of corn country and I remember hearing bits and pieces about problems like this around the area, and never really thought much about it. I worked cleaning out bins until an auger made a run at me and I was lucky enough to jump over it. That was the end of my shoveling in grain bins. You guys did a really professional job (except I'd like to see better protection for the forklift operator). I hope you guys are still safe.

LOL that was easy to get

Man the dangerous shit my grandfather made us do. He had us in the grain bin using a leaf blower to push fines off of the bottom of the bin.

hat's of to you and your team well done. hopefully our banks will learn big is not better, with out people like your team to pick up the peace's

bet the insurance company is passing hot gasses as well

where was this bin? and how long did it take to finish the job?

Its like a corn burning funace large enough to turn a giant warehouse into a sauna

Do you fireproof the hydraulic lines of your equipment?

Very interesting

Gotta have huge balls to drive a bucket loader into a giant flaming grain bin. Wow.

I hope you pay those men well.

how do you separate the burnt corn from the good corn? Does the corn not get contaminated by the smoke?

How come you don't have a bucket on the tellahandler? ?

Mark Fuller he said that the tellahandler (sic) wasn't company equipment. So obviously he wouldn't have a bucket to switch out with him.

Mark Fuller never said he rented the fork loader, may have been the client's equipment. Maybe if faced with this type of salvage again, he would have the bucket available for use.

Clearly gross mismanagement by the elevator. Either some body wasn't checking grain moisture, or ignored it, and loaded the bin with corn that was over 13.5%

Temp cables are a good investment. Without them your gonna have to turn over bins all the time thus wasting electricity and man hours.

What about using metric tons (1000 kg) for measuring the amount of grain being salvaged from the silo...?

A bushel is about 35 liters or so. It's a volume, measure, not weight or mass. for corn, a bushel weighs roughly 56 pounds, or 25 kilograms.

Holy crap. If this silo holds 750,000 bushels, that's nearly 19,000 tons!

This feels ripe for reality tv

a reality tv show will just make a mockery of what this guy does. They did that with Goodsons All-Terrain logging, creating fake drama.

Isn't this "bin" not called a silo? I mean, a "bin" is a small container to drop your everyday waste into: a dustbin (BrE), or garbagecan (AmE). Sorry for that, but having studied the language, beanpicking is fun! But please do not get me wrong here, I am NOT making fun of anyone, as the situation really is dramatic...shovelling off ton of grain from a huge container on fire is not easy at all...

Wet commodities typically are stores in silo's and dry commodities are store in bins.

@@hexoticace8667 although yes you are partially right, Jürgen is as well, in non-American English, this is a silo, not a bin.
