Removing Silage?

[Deerlope]

That piece of equipment hanging on that cable is a silo unloader.I used to install them but probably not that exact type. if it is operational that would be the easy way to get the silage out. otherwise take a 6 tine fork and get to work, then fork it up again into a wheelbarrow to get it out of the barn. Just spread it out in a field somewhere and let it go back into the soil.

I don't think it's at all operational. It's stuck in position, and all the electrical has been torn out.

DaveNay,

Are you sure there is only silage in the concrete tube? Them
walls sure are THICK. I'm thinking that this is ICBM launcher
that is supposed to look like a silo! That is one solid looking
structure.

Great idea about putting a platform on top.

Love to see the pictures when you are done.

Later,

What I really want to put up there is my 10" telescope! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

How tall is it? When poured concrete silo were built around here in the early 70"s the walls were about 6" thick and the hatch doors were square about 2.5'x2.5'. Most of them around here started at 16' in dia.x50' tall.
