Thank you! Cheers!

Now place THREE spiral staircases around the bin at regular spaces and it will resist even weather that flattened all the silos in the recent 100+ MPH winds as seen on Cole the cornstars channel.

a great over the Grain intake. It's that the little stuff right there that's going to save lives and prevent farm injuries, someone was thinking. (I have never seen that before in a grain bin)

@@windmillfarms2845 I is a good thing they have, farming is one of the job's that a good idea to keep a first aid kit handy.

I've done both these jobs for a living for three years and I gotta say the concrete work is a good workout but maybe the grain bin building puts more of a toll on you. Depends on size of group and everybody busy on their own duties makes everything go alot smoother. A bunch of 32s and 48s are nice to do. Working in Minnesota with a certain company with metal frames for the pouring. Man now those are tough.

Pembina coop used to have one that you could run with a decent tractor on the front. Not sure who else Ag Twitter might be a good resource to finding one

That takes me back to 1964, I was roped into a gang of 3 to erect Simplex silo's, sheets were steel, covered both sides with vitreous enamel, though the sheets were much smaller than yours, they were about as heavy as a fit adult man could lift. We erected them exactly same way as this tower bin was, ring first, mushroom on an extending mast in the middle, we were given 3.5 days to erect a finished silo, we started work every morning at 6am, 30 minutes break at mid day, knock off at 10pm, we worked 7 days a week, it was very hard for me being only 15yrs of age, we would spend 3 solid months doing nothing else but erecting silo's, ones we did were about 3/4 hight of yours & base 3/4 width. Some we erected on a hopper base, 45 degree angle, like a massive cone, we filled cone with straw bales and a timber platform in the centre for the mushroom's platform to sit on, it wasnt good working in this environment, good for the farmer, not once ever brushing/shoveling, the 5in auger was lowered down a 45 degree chute into the bottom of the cone.....I did this erecting towers for another 10yrs, by then I had strength of sumo wrestler in my arms, but a knackered back!!

broken down on a cost per bushel basis of storage, they're quite a bit less expensive then grain bags or hopper bottoms
