    It is a shame that all your plans with the new bin site is not working to plan. I know all of you are frustrated with the quality of work the builder provided. I also know you have to be careful with what you say about the bin site because of the lawsuit. You would think with the exposure you and Cole have in social media the builder would be jumping through hoops to make sure it is right. Everyone at the bins please be extremely careful, we would hate to see anyone get hurt. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

    Daddy CS, as a 52 year old welder and fabricator, I have been watching how this has transpired and my heart goes out. My dad was a fine craftsman and my grandfather was an airplane mechanic, so I was taught to do the job right and take pride in your work. When I build things, I give it 110% so I know that it’s done right. I hope you guys get this all resolved but it still hurts my heart to see such wonderful folks get taken advantage of by greedy, sorry people. Prayers for you all. Much love from NC.

Seems like nowadays its how everything goes. You used to expect good service and you were shocked when you got bad service. Now its like everywhere you go you expect bad service, and your shocked when someone actually does their job right!

    DC, we ALL can see your frustration, and we ALL can certainly understand why. Someday, my friend, and I wish I knew when this will come, but, SOMEDAY, you will be able to look back on this, and say "remember when we were operating almost to the point where we were crippled? Remember the bottlenecks, and that old pad the dryer bin sat on, the one we couldn't fill? Remember how the bins were litterally.. (well, you know what I mean). And those things will all be in the past. I know that becuase you folks are good people, and you are smart people, and you have the right attitude and mindset to overcome obstacles. That's why I watch, to see you and your family adapt and over come. You didn't think I watched to see your sons drive around in circles for a month a year, did ya? Hang in there, my friend.

    DC I left a few of my thoughts on Cole’s video today..not trying to be negative. As many of your followers feel your safety is priority. You and your family cannot be replaced especially when there are other alternative options. Yes it will be a financial loss but it’s worth it if you and the family are safe. Possible recovery when you go to court. I know it’s easier said and there is a lot on the table. I can’t imagine how hard it is for you guys. Is it feasible to use the public grain bin? When you cry we cry..

    • @tanull45
      @tanull45 9 місяців тому

      Sadly they're stuck in a catch 22 situation now, if they do repair things then at the trial the other side can claim that their repair caused the damage or that it voids the warranty if they do anything. Cole talked about it towards the start before they started the lawsuit but now of course they can't say anything until the trial is over or it could be used by the other side that's why they have to be so careful about what they say. 😠😠😠

    @tucobenedicto109 9 місяців тому

    Bin problems no good. ☹️ . Wish you better days.
    The pit might be a confined space. So with burnt belts, you should have some forced air system bringing in fresh air when servicing. Use the same fan an electric worker uses in a manhole.
    The air may be oxygen deficient. A sniffer might cost a bit but save a life.
    Use a no entry rescue.
    Be safe.

    Please talk to your council about being able to secure the hand rails on your bins. Should be able use some scaffold clamps temporarily. Cant believe a company would walk away from the safety side of their responsibility. Every pit that size I've seen has 2 augers. Do they have an example of one in use with that design that actually works? A question for the attorney's to ask in discovery

    The sad part about farming is the busiest time is when it's nice outside and the down time is when it's an artic tundra. It can be such a trial to have spent so much money and have it make your life worse than it was before. It's a crime that you guys can't even fix anything and these companies won't stand by their products. Y'all should build a new dryer shack and do it yourself and add another dryer to double production and have it covered so you can dry in the bad weather. Good luck and sleep tight when you can

    Asking about the pit, why didn't they build like a drill bit ? Have it feed to one end then up the leg over to holding hopper . On the auger out of the pit looks to be 8in diameter. Would not a 10 in or 12 been better ? Then think u said it in coles video when you and Cooper were up on top about having tight turns. Yes that should have fixed then .
    On the dump pit maybe wasn't in the budget or might be able to add later , enclosure all around it were can park semi in it. Shut both ends with a roll updoor , be able to unload, load . In bad weather, hopefully soon have the law suits all over . Thank you

      They can't do anything that voids their warranty Cole mentioned it when all this first started it's part of the lawsuit issues if they repair stuff then at trial the other side can claim that their repair caused the damage. It's a catch 22 for them.
