Might be a stupid question why is the fan and output auger on opposite side to the other bins.

Now that’s team work my god they sure do hussle

Again, I’m so proud of you! (Old enough to be your mom) Been watching our farmers on YT for years, one thing I’ve NEVER complained about is a long video, esp one like this. I’m no tech genius but I’m pretty sure everyone can click ahead & skip what they don’t want to see.

Used to work for Ridgetop, those boys are family and they work damn hard. Rob is a great guy too and honestly working for him isn't bad. Long hours but he treats his workers very well.

Grain Day in the morning!

It looks like you learned a little from Coles bin site nightmare . Looks good.

Lunch and treats will pay you great dividends. Those boys will never forget that!

That was very interesting to watch. I’ll bet it was hot and noisy working inside that bin. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Hi guys wow I never knew they put the grain bins Together like that thank you for the video very interesting keep up the good work Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia from the big island

I helped my Dad put his York Bin together. It must have been about 1989. The wind blew the center tree over before the roof was assembled. Lucky it didnt kill someone. It bent one of the side panels leaving him one short. He then had to drive to York Nebraska to get another panel.

Good call on the food man. We always remember the jobs that we had breakfast or coffee bought for us. Excellent PR move

{At the 22:16 mark. Ben asks Bandit if he wants some of the donut} What we didn't see was the crew building the Grain Bin had an issue with a stuck jack, Until Bandit stepped in to save the day. While the Hoomun (Ben, was busy attemptin to offer ideas of how to free the stuck jack) Bandit waltzed up too said jack an hiked his leg... Upon finishin his work he trots off. A worker seein the "Help" Bandit provided figured "what the heck, nuthin else has worked so far" he gives the controller a nudge and sure enough the jacks start liftin the Grain Bin!! Way to Go Bandit!!! Everyone needs a Blue Heeler!

I have seen a lot of bin projects on KZfaq but never one covered in this detail. Well done!

Hello! May you fill them countless times...

Excellent pour and music segment. Great editing.

Man, THIS is awesome. I love seeing how stuff is done, I wouldn't have guessed they jacked the roof up like that, but it makes sense in retrospect. This is why I love the internet, I'd never get a chance to see one of those massive site cranes go up but on the internet, I can see it... 52 years and never saw a metal grain bin go up, now I know how that works. One thing, wear some ear pro! All that generator noise, cutting, impact wrenches... that stuff will destroy your hearing, especially in an enclosed echo chamber. As a life long shooter with some hearing deficits even WITH hearing protection, it amazes me how many of these guys don't wear ear protection.

Awesome!

Nice job #Ridgetopfarmsupply !

Excellent video, a tip of the hat to you.👨‍🌾

Great video documentary. I really enjoyed that !!!!🤠👍

Thank You

Great video sir , getting to see how grain bens are built from start to finish is educational . Like it is said , treat people right and they will treat you right .

cool video.🤓

Great video! Thank you

Top NOTCH!!!! Great job on construction!!!!!

Time went by faster than normal. Must've been a good video. 😉

Dam. Them boys know there craft.

I hope popcorn balls can be substituted for popcorn. Hey, Halloween is coming soon! I use to love popcorn balls as a kid, so every Halloween season my daughter gets me the popcorn balls.

Cool project great video.

thank you Ben for the bin video . I have worked around and in the bins for farmers around our small town when I was in school till I got out of school . I knew a little of how they were built . But your video explained all of it . Great video keep them coming . I watch all of them . I also worked at our local elevator in the summer for wheat harvest and in the fall for mung bean harvest and cleaned those things all night sum times and go to school the same day . I am 76 years old and I look back on those time and think that those days were the best and fun times of my life . I am sure there a lot of us old guys out there that remember those days . Any way keep up the videos and good luck on your farming . Thank You .

Very much enjoyed this video.

Outstanding video.

Good video man

Very cool video!

I like it! Shared it on my Facebook page.

great location, This is awesome!

Great video, very informative.

Thanks for the video! Very informative!

Built 2 GSI bins in early 70s a 10,000 bu and a 7500 bu good bins. Hand no FOUNDATION like that 😂. Enjoy your life time investment young man,something you can truly pass on to future generations 👍. Thanks Molly an Ben !! Oh one more thing,help my brother build GSI bins now and then when I can. Ear protection and a good tool belt. Bet those are Banir jacks,probably misspell that. 😮

Great content, keep it up!

excelent video ben thankyou for the knowledge

That was a well done video. I very much enjoyed it and keep up the good work

Great video Ben. Gsi is a company and has great products

Very good, thank you for sharing this. The length of the video was well worth it. And from a 65 year old rocker the tunes as always were good. Keep on farming Ben.

Love your style your right in the heat of the action

Another great video,

Interesting content Ben👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Awesome Video Ben I bet it was a Hot Cookie inside!🌻🌻👨‍🌾👨‍🌾👨‍🌾

NICE WE LIKE IT

Ben, I love your videos and how thorough you are in explaining processes. My mind works in the way you lay out the vids... to understand one item I really want to know how it fits into the overall layout - and you must look at things the same way because your content is always laid out to show all angles of a process. Love it!

Very cool look at how it all goes together, awesome job of film work and editing

I work for myself now. But years ago when I worked for other people and some where real a holes. It just seemed like donuts or a meal made you appreciated.

My company in North Dakota builds 50 bins a season. Didn’t have the best view but it looked like they grabbed the wall sheets right off the stack and didn’t add the seal around the seems

2nd from canada ottawa here

Wait, your not selling baggies of field dirt to fund the project? lol (I wonder if anyone will get it)

Good job Ben, I wonder how long it will be before you install cat walks to go from Grain bin to bin, instead of climbing the steps every time? Yes I know a lot of money, you're doing great! With social media such as this America gets to watch the young farmers grow

I thought they would start at the bottom first now I see how they do the storage sheds

those fellas do not waste time

I'm putting in my first grain bin, and found a fairly detailed .pdf from GSI on grain bin installation and site prep for a 21' bin. I'm only at the foundation part of the video, and there's a few differences. It says to only use rebar (2 rings of them) on the footing, and then use 2 layers of 6x6 wire mesh for the interior of the pad. Also, if the footing is over 2' wide, to go 12" on center with perpendicular sections across the 2 rings for the rebar. So it goes from it looks like 24" on center rebar in the video, to double layer 6x6 mesh in the manual. One part I don't get in the manual, is it only shows 6" max for above ground concrete, minimum 1' below. Which to me, doesn't make any sense. If you have any grade at all, you'll be about flush with the ground on one side. Also, the manual shows a 1/2" expansion joint between the footing at the rest of the pad, it doesn't look like the foundation in the video has one. So....does the manual not really matter, or is the video cutting corners? I'd hate to do it wrong.

Need to send his info over to cole the cornstar!

Bin process looks familiar I just finished moving a 18 ft bin. We tore it down and just finished putting it back up

That aluminum fan is new to GSI as well. Takes a lot less power to spin them up.

This was impressive and educational. I really enjoyed this. Thank you

More longer vids man i too am an older codger lol

👍👍

Thought there'd be more rebar in the concrete.

I swear to God I just passed you in Missouri valley Iowa !!!!!!!

I built bins for 10 years for kbi out of Kansas and swiessgood out of Nebraska i loved it but live in ga now no bins just hooper tanks

Dumb question. How do you clear out all the grain dust that will settle below the floor onto the concrete?

Donuts, pizza and beer 🍺 gets you a better job

Have they stopped using the rolls of caulking on the bin sheets? Hydraulic jacks are some much nicer then the old cable jacks. No more cords everywhere thanks to cordless impacts.

Ben, appreciate your sharing this process. You didn't mention the cost of bins today as opposed to 2-5 years ago? Not specific dollars just general. In the old days, we had a cost per bushel that determined whether it paid to put it in the bin or haul to the elevator.

Interesting video

Wow, that was some serious screwing around 🙂 Awesome video about a building process totally new to me (and to a lot of other watchers I suppose). Is there a specific reason why the external equipment is hanging in cables instead of standing on a concrete patio?

Why don't they pour a concrete block under the big fan. Instead of hanging from cables that will stretch and put stress on the transition and bin ?

I was surprised you didn't build 30,000 bushel+/- capacity bins. Were is the honey spot bushels to Dollars ????? Nice bins , with good features.

Hi I am from Kenya how can I get one silo like that how much sir

? How come no Lock washers!

how much does it cost

Great explanation hope your hearing is OK after all that noise in that echoing metal bin. Wait your married now so being deaf to your wife is OK. 😆 🤣 😂

It's like the 12th or 13th of the month and haven't seen the video of you with corn or savings yet what's going on you forget about it

Возьмите на работу

In 25 years those fine young men are going to wish they had been wearing hearing protection. Want to guess how I know ? :(

you must be desperate on videos 😂😂🤣
