My dad built silo's for 30+ years and I worked with him for 3+ years. The crew was five and it was hard work but glad I got to do it !!!! Most of our crew is gone including my dad but the memories live on. Thanks to those that are doing it now.

I've watched a lot of videos of silos being tore down its great to finally see one being built.

Man you talk about good timing with that weather. Roof on with no time to spare. Nice work!

That was one of the most enjoyable videos that I have watched in a long time. There's so much to watch,the silo going up and the cattle coming and going,too. I had to watch it several times. Very Good. Thank You for posting it.

The best silos when a storm comes thru there usually still standing unlike the metal ones crushed like a pop can

I was wondering how tall that silo was and how long it actually took to build it so I was happy to find that information included above. I love seeing them come down and I have watched many of them being taken down, sometimes by machine and sometimes by a man with a sledge hammer, but this was the first one I saw being built. Pretty awesome.

Good for you, I was dreaming about building one myself.

watching the cows was also fascinating

I think it's cool watching stave silos be built. Your neighbors all give you a hard time for building a silo? Mine did. They have bags and bunkers, and complain non stop about their silos they have. But they do very little to zero maintenance on their unloaders and wonder why their silo unloaders don't work? 🤔 I had bags and piles and wouldn't go back to that mess. Seems like we've built a silo every 6-8 years on our farm as the herd grows since 2003.

Would love to see a video of the working platform being raised.

Got some active cows there.

The cows are like hungry ants

I curious to see how the platform and jib cranes system works!

What building codes did you have to follow to build that high? I understand that there is usually a limit on residential contractors up to a certain height. Was it a commercial crew and could this be converted to a living space?

I think they could have built it in three days if they had started at daylight. They started the camera at 7 a.m. on the 15th. The workers arrived half an hour later. They worked till 7 p.m. That's an eleven hour day. I guess that's enough. I would like to know how deep the footer is. Did anybody else notice the dog that likes to hang around the workers? They got the dome finished right when the rain started.

They look 50 years old even when there new.

They are tearing cement staves and Harvestores down around here and using bunks and Agbags.

Was that a used silo that was relocated to your site? I suppose that you had a camera mounted on another silo or grain leg to get the view from up high.

it looks like... Nearly going to the clouds. What in the world do i see?

How big a silo is that? What will you be storing in it? What made you make the move from bunkers and bags to silos?

They still build these things?

А если упадет эта башня на коровник?
