Silo Destructo | Tear Down In Progress

- Well I gotta say I try to make these videos in a way that they're pretty much self explanatory. Any way for those of you that haven't seen my videos before, they're about the day in and day out life on a crop and cattle farm in southwest Wisconsin. I try to avoid doing to much editing in my videos and keep them as close to the original raw footage as I can because lets be honest farming isn't edited as I live it.

Your brothers time lapse of this was pretty cool
Remember when unloaded by hand , twice a day .
The boys would climb them outside rings like nothing.
Glad to see it re-used.
My dad used to drive stave truck back in the early 1970s. He went to work one day and the stave plant was down and he has option to go tighten rings on the same system u just said or go home for the day. He went home for the day.
I climbed a 60 footer for years, twice a day! threw enough silage out by hand for 120 head, and feed it in a wheel burrow!
Unusual demolition that's for sure.
No money changing hands I presume.
Interesting video 👍👍
Thanks for sharing the close ups and details. Enjoy it.
I think if what happened to your old man happened to me, that would be the last time I ever went up one. As a guy that uses tower silo's everyday just thinking about it scares the hell out of me. We keep all our doors in good shape, replace as needed.
Very interesting. Thanks for the video Travis!
Thanks for showing us the rest of the story. I was wondering how their scaffolding and such was working when I was watching Ryan’s video but this explained it well. Ryan’s channel showed the silo being taken down, and you explained how it was being taken down. Y’all’s channels work well together.
Glad to see someone with andbishom can use the silo.
A few years ago a farm in my area filled a stave silo like that with corn silage, it was a little bit bigger, maybe a 20x70? Not exactly sure on the size. But two of the family went up to the top to level it off and set up the unloader and a third guy was on the ground to lower the unloader down. All of a sudden they heard several big snaps, apparently several of the rings had suddenly failed and the silo fell down with the 2 guys in it yet! Amazingly they both survived!
Bet that was quite the ride!
Pretty awesome way of tearing down a silo. We have extra staves from our silo that was build the year I was born 1980. An we had them as sidewalks to risers for a front loader washing machine.
Great video Travis... Thanks...I did it this back in 1980 a bit differently...silo was in bad shape..couldn't be recycled...used a bulldozer with with a long cable and then chopped it down like a tree....we all survived...the silo was right next to a barn...g;ad that your silo could be repurposed...
thanks for the video travis
This is an episode where *The Rest of the Story* really rings true. Having watched Ryan's video a few times, it showed me the process, but this video (as will the next one on the topic) went much more in depth. I'm not gonna be nostalgic about this either, even though it is a part of your childhood and growth into adulthood and represents a change to the Kuster Farms skyline. My uncles still use a total of six concrete stave silos on their main farm, and I can recall watching one of them being built in the early '90s. I never worked in one aside from operating the unloader, and my grandpa had a mishap in one which gave him the respiratory illness (COPD) which eventually claimed his life back in the earlier part of this decade. I'm sure you'll continue to slowly update the farmstead to better suit your operations over time. Thanks for the video, Travis!
I still think it should be turned into the world's deepest above ground swimming pool.
Those rings get tighter when the silo is full. They are also a lot tighter in cold weather as the steel shrinks. So many people cut the rings instead of unbolting them when trying to topple a silo.
see Fred Dibnah Bolton UK steeplejack took down chimbleys smokestacks, with out blasting remove some of the base, prop up with wood props burn props away until chimbley falls down very interesting
Those short staves you pointed out are not broken. They are made to finish out the top.
I could use the motor 😁
Lost our truck unloading auger motor today, that one would work!!
Lost the motor on the screenings auger today too,!!! 😪
I climbed up to one of those platforms when my cousin was reassembling a silo he had disassembled from another location. As long as you don't think about what your standing on once your up to the top it's not to bad. & this is coming from a guy who doesn't like heights.
& btw, those staves can make good water tanks for cattle. We have 3 of them on our farm.
Are you hinting about something possibly being in the oven?
Cool
Since the land in your area is hilly have you ever considered an in-ground silo? They are pretty common down here in the South.
That looks like a welded boatman chair. That spot would be good for a storage shed, or a machine shed then you could get rid of the other barn for a another grain bin or two.
@John Haas I don't know about them, but I hate to use productive ground if I have other options. And the old corn crib has seen better days.
I used to watch people go over the side of a 17 story building with what amounted to a tractor seat with a motor on the bottom a couple of times a year to change light bulbs. I guess it depends on what you are used to.
Glad to see it going uo a new home and put back in service.yoy saying that you two are having a baby now?
Nope
My grandpa and dad would take down silos to be put up on our farm my dad would let my grandpa down the side to loosen bands in a homemade basket the he would climb back up and shake the silo loose the start dropping blocks just standing on the blocks no scaffolding
Hey!!
Are you going to take down the bad grain bin
Thanks for another great video I bet your glad to have the extra space to use that’s for sure
Be very careful using the hollow blocks for jack stands. The have been know to break under pressure. Could be a disaster.
Totally agree !
Totally agree. ALWAYS use solid wooden blocks when jacking heavy items. I've seen agrogate concrete blocks crush under weight more than once. Talk about scaring the daylights out of you!!! Disaster is correct!!! A 4x4 is a much safer wheel chuck as well.
They will need all of the short staves
Rest of the story, Best of the story, Just the facts jack,, the UDDER silo video had a lot of Amish or Mennonite discussion. Just ask if they are an Amish or a Mennonite , they will answer will a Dutch German French language with English to confuse the issue with the facts😊 ,, They smart hard working people with a deep religious belief, who else would work 70 feet up with a rope.. A time lapse video of silo clean up?? Now we know who built the pyramids.. if you have to ask ,you will not understand,
New grain bin
Nice Harry Potter pun.
Sounds like from your actions u impatiently await for it to be down
Good way of repurposing your silo
First!
LOL. Hi Grace!
I wish I never built silos after 3 years we went to bunkers
"I'm going to be a strict parent" Sure you will... Unless it's a girl...
Travis like you I was limited quite a bit as to how much I would do aloft, I ended my working life as a trucker. I ran into a friend one night south of Dallas. I had not seen this guy in a while he said he had become a steeplejack I'm like what's that like he points to several radio-TV towers near by and said I went up the center one last week to change light bulbs. I'm no way he says yes way 2200 feet hand over hand with 60# on my back, made my knees shake to hear it said. Dude told me his first climb he went 65 feet then had to stop for a rest and breather break.
Look up Fred Dibnah, he was a steeplejack in the UK and the BBC did a series about him. He was a absolute legend.
Silos are dangerous Buckers work better or wrap bales
Nothing worse than climbing those things empty I always had to do it when we lifted the unloader to refill the silos I talked to Jesus a lot on the way up because our doors were all rotten I'm glad we don't use them anymore
IS THAT A MADISON SILO?
I believe so.
Yup. Hollow staves
DID THEY BUY IT?
They bartered, guys who took down wanted it. Saved Kuster $ of demo n pain job.
FARMALLL666 the Amish don’t buy if they can help it. They barter a lot lol We have 400-500 of them living in our town they move here n bought farms 6-7 years ago.
IT's what's called a win win. They save thousands on both sides.
To bad kids ard the best thing in the world to have around you
