All...seems like the general view is the music doesn't compliment the video, fair enough. However the intent was to show the destruction of the silo. Thanks to all of those with the positive comments - I'm happy you enjoyed this!
I think that the music is perfect for the video. I am a South Florida country boy. Grew up working on ranches, in citrus groves and sugar cane fields. I know nothing about grain farming or even feedlot type cattle farming. But I can tell that the crew sitting around the fire drinking some beers and tellin’ good jokes is a bunch that I would feel perfectly comfortable to “Party” with.
I love watching old silos go down like that. It's like they're riding an escalator to a lower floor ... and in the end they're flat. Amazing to watch. Going down!
Many thanks. It was a first for me and interesting to see good old farming ingenuity. The folk were focused on safety as well as ensuring it was entertaining. It was also very cool to have the local townsfolk show up to see the spectacle...a real nice sense of community!
Many thanks, I'll pass that on to the farmer/property owner who managed it all. To tell you the truth he and I were surprised how big the video grew in popularity!
I was on crew that built those. Largest one was 110 feet. I also helped take one down that was only about 60 feet. We went over the sides, removing all support rods. Once on the ground, we moved the rods from collapse zone. Then taking sledgehammers, we knocked holes in base; 6 and 12, 3 and 9, 2 and 8, 11 and 5. Then making sure our path to hall assume was clear, we both took out 4 and 7 and ran. In less than 30 seconds the remaining bricks started cracking and about 15 seconds it came straight down in a pile.
So cool I've never seen a silo demolition before lol I wondered how people did it. Thank you for sharing cus now I know how it's done 😀😀 you guys are awesome.
Many thanks Cindy, the farmer John is a very cool man and highly respected in the community. A joy to share the moments with good people and thankfully harmless fun! He also owns some amazing Shire Horses, one owns scars on its back from a cougar attack when it was a foal. Evidently it survived, wow what an experience for the poor thing!
A lot of crazy comments. Concrete silos are not obsolete and are still manufactured and are still used on hundreds of farms across the country. They are mostly used for haylage or corn silage ,but if they're a top sealed with a bottom unloader they can be used for high-moisture corn. They're not the most efficient for large operations, but do keep the feed in a limited amount of ground space and a lot less waste.
Eric Groat I put up two of them a few years ago and really like them there are still a ton of them still being used it was kind of a shame see these three get ripped down
We still use 3 concrete silos on our NY dairy farm. Other than sometimes an unloader issue, they work excellent and keep the farm nice and neat. No wasted plastic from ag bags or spoilage from a bunk silo.
I believe they were erected in the 70's, the farmer has not mentioned a barn adjacent to them but I could be wrong as he is constantly looking to improve his layout and operations.
Yes I understand the sentimentality as they were certainly landmarks. I listened to the farmers father described the era they were built and how well they served their purpose. Although sad in a sense to see them go he seemed relieved there wouldnt be any excuse for the "flying rats" to return which were a bit of a problem. They were also aging and was a a call in terms of safety risk.
Guys did a good job. And without the cloud of dust that always follow. But I did not see the 3 one fall or is it on a separate video? Either way, thanks.
Gday Carlos....I was terribly disappointed we didn't capture footage of the third one. The drone was in the air so long waiting for movement as well as being in the cold air it simply had run out of energy. The other battery I had was used up for to capture vision of the first silo
Hi Sofia, the third one fell the same day. Unfortunately I only had 2 drone batteries to use the whole day and back then flight time for the particular drone I had was 20 mins each battery. Alot of the time the drone was in the air in a waiting pattern.
G'day Scott The 3rd one was a real struggle, a very stubborn structure! We paused video and the battery was running low on the drone. We decided to collect fence posts for a big fire and whilst we were at the wood heap, the 3rd one came crashing down (with the help of the tractor!
G'day Scott....we thought the sound would've been deafening however the snow absorbed much of the sound. Much of the louder sound resonated from the sheet-metal domes and the cheer of the crowd LOL The funnies part was when we saw a couple of pigeons escape from the folding dome just a couple of feet above the ground!
The 3rd one came down when me and a buddy went to collect firewood for the "afterparty", the farmer and crew went for it not aware the drone wasn't in the air
Hi! The cable was certainly much longer than the height of the silo. Unfortunately the first one that fell was unexpected. You can see the cable length from the aerial drone footage.
Many thx, the music took a real hit from some folk and others were cool with it. In the end it was royalty free and I'm all for supporting new artists! Many thanks for your support Lazy D ! Stay happy and healthy Cheers Aaron
I understand that the silos have out lasted there usefulness. But it away so so many memories of the days when they were Kings of the Farm. Also the landmarks of giving directions to strangers of the neighborhood before all roads received road numbers and not turn right at the farm with the 3 silos go 2 miles turn right at the blue silo and the James place is 1st on left back the shot lane. 😩😩😩
Gday David - youre spot on. The silos could be seen from miles around and definitely landmarks. There's similar landmark in Fremantle Western Australia which is known for the "Dingo Flour" sign. Folk have created tee shirts to celebrate it and the community views it as an incredibly important landmark.
They are getting old...cracking, or the foundation is busting..the mortar used to glue the bricks together is turning to powder...seen the wind blow these older ones down..
reminds me of a robin saw a 3 inch tale sticking out of the ground started pulling and ended up with a 3 foot snake like that pull only a bit oh no whole piece came out.
"And in local news a farmer tried to enter the space race today. His rocket ship failed to achieve orbit however and broke up somewhere over Canada. The RCMP are warning anyone who believes they have found debris to not approach it but to notify authorities."
Many thanks....any time we go to "the farm" there is something to do, explore, go crazy. Then there is the fire and rum, the dogs miraculously show up at supper time!
Gday Robert...yes, mute exactly. The music isnt central to the video and I didn't create the video for the music. Its interesting how folk focus on the less obvious. Seems alot of folk felt VERY strongly about the music (which was royalty free) The video was made for the farmer as well as the town folk who saw these as a local landmark. The decision to pull them down was entirely made after careful deliberation by the family and unfortunately in these parts the upkeep to ensure they remained safe around active machinery was weighed up against any heritage value v. the valuable plot space for modernization. The old structures attracted alot of vermin which were using them as home base to migrate and start up colonies in the trailers and other machinery stored close by.
They don’t crash so much as they just...dissolve, I guess. I’ve been on a silo fire once back when I was a probie with the firehouse, and the way the heat radiates off the sides will mess with your head because it makes you think the damn thing’s actually swaying. They’re worse than chimney fires too because it’s all got to be done by aerial ladders. And as for silo rescues when somebody gets trapped in one of those things-don’t ask.
thanks Casy, you may have stopped your viewing too soon. The drone footage shows the tractor pulling a rather large steel cable tied around the base of the silo
thanks for the positive comments Patrick! The video includes contribution from others, I mainly used the drone and editing. We had a fun day out and great fire in the evening...life is pretty good. The farmer was well happy the silos were brought down, the father who built them in the 70's was well pleased they are down, were no longer in use, attracting vermin, using up valuable plot space.
You should make a trip to Iowa if you want to see collapsed silos. A bunch of Harvestore silos have partially collspsed. And just stand in the country skyline bent in contempt of a poor integrity design which apparently slumping hay can create a vacuum inside the silo and cave it in.
Many thanks for mentioning that, something I'd never given thought to (as a city boy). One thing I have noticed is the wad of dense silage that sits at the bottom of those old structures. I can only image the reaction thru fermentation etc !
Not sure man, I guess he had his reasons, I believe he mentioned the "tiles" (wall material) held pretty good value. I'm uncertain if he sold all the good ones
I love tearing down stuff on the farm.. always goes one of 2 ways. 1 I'm told to rip it down. Doesn't work so I get bigger equipment until it does... Or 2. Try to rip it down and when it refuses I burn the damn thing down. Either way is fun and always seems to end with a loud crash.
I completely understand that they tied them self off somehow. But yep dad told me many times they would go up so high then put the steel round supports on. And keep on going up
....the contrast with snow and the farm is quite striking, especially for us city folk. Its great to get out there to gain an insight into the reality both positive and negative. Also there is a certain freedom felt from being on the land, isolated from "the big smoke" which allows you to clear your mind and appreciate what surrounds you (including the occasional craziness - fun)
Look up the one on you tube where the silo falls on the excavator that was punching holes in it,the operator walked away,the excavator didn't look so good.
ua-cam.com/video/0W4q1Gp4Ha8/v-deo.html....link to 2019 silo collapse at Charlie's farm. I hope you enjoy! Many thanks for all of the positive comments!
I suppose a tad better than comatose in front of the computer in the big city like I usually am! It sure was a "hoot", the big fire and "quiet" drinks after rounded out an eventful day! Mind you the usual windbreak was no longer there
Thankyou! It certainly was a fun day out but tricky trying to manage the power in the drone enough to take the footage. Thank goodness we caught one from the air. As always, its alot of fun on the farm and sharing a rum around a warm fire makes for great memories
wasnt intended as clickbait at all, the birds were considered a menace and another reason to demolish the silos, not too healthy to have birds crapping near food storage
All...seems like the general view is the music doesn't compliment the video, fair enough. However the intent was to show the destruction of the silo. Thanks to all of those with the positive comments - I'm happy you enjoyed this!
Aaron G well I liked the whole thing, ,,,music and all ,,,, took one down a yr ago, ,,only a 60 footer but was still something to see
I think that the music is perfect for the video.
I am a South Florida country boy. Grew up working on ranches, in citrus groves and sugar cane fields. I know nothing about grain farming or even feedlot type cattle farming. But I can tell that the crew sitting around the fire drinking some beers and tellin’ good jokes is a bunch that I would feel perfectly comfortable to “Party” with.
Looks like you have a nice set-up. Continued success for you and your family.
Aaron G Great controlled drop nice work ......I liked the music who was it ?
G'day Patrick..the artist is Lawrence Beamen
I love watching old silos go down like that. It's like they're riding an escalator to a lower floor ... and in the end they're flat. Amazing to watch. Going down!

Most intelligent and effective way to take down a silo I have ever seen. CONGRATS to you Sir...
Many thanks, I'll pass that on to the farmer/property owner who managed it all. To tell you the truth he and I were surprised how big the video grew in popularity!

Geez Richard that sounds controlled but still took alot of (bleep)!!
Best music I've heard so far when watching a vid...great job!
Much appreciated Joe!
Joe Weiser I usually really hate background music and I can honestly say this is the first time I didn’t! Exact opposite in fact, I loved it too!😹💞
That was cool thank you ,big hugs from MN
I dont use it but i keep mine standing. I think silos are picturesqe. Im not crazy about seeing the old farm yards disappear.
Cool place to live in too. Huge attic with a great view :)
Good man Glenn, they are certainly prominent landmarks that have "seen" a lot of history I suspect!
So cool I've never seen a silo demolition before lol I wondered how people did it. Thank you for sharing cus now I know how it's done 😀😀 you guys are awesome.
Many thanks Cindy, the farmer John is a very cool man and highly respected in the community. A joy to share the moments with good people and thankfully harmless fun!

Major landmark of my childhood disappearing into dust right there. Thanks for the video!
I agree Ian, it's kinda strange now to drive over the hill on the approach and not to expect to see the "towers"
Hey who built them what was the brand name never seen the red paint on top like that you know you can store grain in them
Was that a David Brown/ Case at 2:32 ?
‘82 Case 2290
No silos were hurt during the making of this video!!
They prefer to lay down

this is one Class Act Video! great folks. wish I could have been there. 👍👍👍👍👍 ❤ our U.S.A
Nice music, fun to watch 👍👍
When where they put up also did you have a barn by them before
I believe they were erected in the 70's, the farmer has not mentioned a barn adjacent to them but I could be wrong as he is constantly looking to improve his layout and operations.
Great video and perfect music tied it all together. Cheers from Australia
....cheers to you! (from one Aus to another). A little different from what I'd seen out West Aus.
@@AaronG303 yep there is no pulling our silos down with. A chain and tractor
Usually takes some dynamite 👍👍
Sad to see them go down, those old silos are iconic
Yes I understand the sentimentality as they were certainly landmarks. I listened to the farmers father described the era they were built and how well they served their purpose. Although sad in a sense to see them go he seemed relieved there wouldnt be any excuse for the "flying rats" to return which were a bit of a problem. They were also aging and was a a call in terms of safety risk.
It has a good beat and you could dance to it! Nice job, boys!
Cheers again!

Who is the band? I like it ! Thanks
Royalty Free so more than happy to support those folk...Lawrence Beamen "Looking for Me"
So, we don't need silos anymore?
Guys did a good job. And without the cloud of dust that always follow. But I did not see the 3 one fall or is it on a separate video? Either way, thanks.
Gday Carlos....I was terribly disappointed we didn't capture footage of the third one. The drone was in the air so long waiting for movement as well as being in the cold air it simply had run out of energy. The other battery I had was used up for to capture vision of the first silo
Why only two taken down. Is the third one still standing?
Hi Sofia, the third one fell the same day. Unfortunately I only had 2 drone batteries to use the whole day and back then flight time for the particular drone I had was 20 mins each battery. Alot of the time the drone was in the air in a waiting pattern.
How old were the silos they look pretty damn nice!
G'day Gian Carlo! I believe 1980's
What happened to the video for the third one
G'day Scott
The 3rd one was a real struggle, a very stubborn structure! We paused video and the battery was running low on the drone. We decided to collect fence posts for a big fire and whilst we were at the wood heap, the 3rd one came crashing down (with the help of the tractor!
Aaron G cool just wondering love how smooth they came down
G'day Scott....we thought the sound would've been deafening however the snow absorbed much of the sound. Much of the louder sound resonated from the sheet-metal domes and the cheer of the crowd LOL The funnies part was when we saw a couple of pigeons escape from the folding dome just a couple of feet above the ground!
Aaron G I grew up on a farm and used to go to top and sit on small platform when I wanted to hide but could watch everyone looking for me lol
The 3rd one came down when me and a buddy went to collect firewood for the "afterparty", the farmer and crew went for it not aware the drone wasn't in the air
When will sn11 launch
Why not using a longer wire? Just longer than the height of the silo.
Hi! The cable was certainly much longer than the height of the silo. Unfortunately the first one that fell was unexpected. You can see the cable length from the aerial drone footage.
At 40 seconds. Only supposed to pull a bit out. What could possibly go wrong
Cool and funny video! Great background music which is extremely rare (in my opinion)! So of course, I’m subscribing!😹😅💞
Full blown props for the soundtrack! That's good stuff.
Many thx, the music took a real hit from some folk and others were cool with it. In the end it was royalty free and I'm all for supporting new artists! Many thanks for your support Lazy D ! Stay happy and healthy
Cheers
Aaron
I loved it!!! It looked like a comedian walking down the stairs without any stairs being there, just crouching lower and lower and lower
I truly miss farm life 🚜🏡☀️🌛🌦⛈🌨🚜🚜
I don't blame you, tough people, independent, honest and genuine. They have to get up and try to be "positive" every sunrise. All power to these folk
What is the cable attached to inside the silo?
I’m unsure of the diameter but simply a steel cable wrapped around the base when pulled tears the base apart for the collapse
G'day Gary. It wrapped around the outside like a big ol lasso
Running for your life laughing hysterically. My kind of people.
Yep, that was the farmers "help"...from Ukraine, good guy and loves life
Imagine the laughing if explosives were involved?
Rodcognito 00 that was great wasn’t it!? My kind of people too!
Kick-Ass video guys, thanx! BTW, puttin Lawrence Beamen in there was sweet!
Thanks Donald, even if some didn't appreciate this piece the guy does have a skill. Kudos for following his heart!

KBS117 there is no mortar !! Not on the one's I seen ?
buster smith there is on the inside its to seal any holes to keep the silo air tight so the feed doesn't spoil
No, no mortar.. if there is no longer any dairy herd then the silos are useless.
Where is this at
Alberta Canada
Oh crap!! Good video and music.
reminds me of a robin saw a 3 inch tale sticking out of the ground started pulling and ended up with a 3 foot snake like that pull only a bit oh no whole piece came out.
I for one liked the music dont change a thing its a great video
Thanks Doug, I don't mind mixing things up with music selection with clips. Its certainly a matter of taste and happy you enjoyed!
Sad to watch the destruction of farming as we knew it
Filling silo and picking corn were my favorite jobs. I still pick corn for my steers.
Nobody seems to care about the old timber frame hay/dairy barn anymore either.
Ik
I know :(
Great video! Looks like a whole lot of fun! Semper Fi
salute to you Jon, thank you for your service!
"And in local news a farmer tried to enter the space race today. His rocket ship failed to achieve orbit however and broke up somewhere over Canada. The RCMP are warning anyone who believes they have found debris to not approach it but to notify authorities."
Knowing John he'd be curious with those possibilities LOL
Great silo demolition music! Good times!
....many thanks, its a good thing we can share these experiences for others to view (even if they are manic - the experiences that is!)
Cool vid!
Somehow watching this video makes me feel satisfied.Looked like fun.
Many thanks....any time we go to "the farm" there is something to do, explore, go crazy. Then there is the fire and rum, the dogs miraculously show up at supper time!
Great Video & drone footage . With Great music to go along with it. After a long days work , a bonfire & few tasty beverages. Party On . STAY REAL!
Mute is your friend.
Why destroyed? Would have been a fun observation tower.
Gday Robert...yes, mute exactly. The music isnt central to the video and I didn't create the video for the music. Its interesting how folk focus on the less obvious.

Hey bubba, hold my beer. I'm gonna wrap this here chain around this here silo and give it a good yank with my old tractor
Sure did!
dont spill my beer when you run.
Nice one!
Super cool video!!!
thanks Mary!
Where r u guys?

They don’t crash so much as they just...dissolve, I guess.
I’ve been on a silo fire once back when I was a probie with the firehouse, and the way the heat radiates off the sides will mess with your head because it makes you think the damn thing’s actually swaying. They’re worse than chimney fires too because it’s all got to be done by aerial ladders. And as for silo rescues when somebody gets trapped in one of those things-don’t ask.
Man o man that sounds very "sub-optimal", kudos to you for your work helping these hard working folk!
Excellent soundtrack. Doesn’t happen so often with this kind of topic.
wish you showed what you did to pull them down ,cool video liked the music
thanks Casy, you may have stopped your viewing too soon. The drone footage shows the tractor pulling a rather large steel cable tied around the base of the silo
Cool video and production of it
thanks for the positive comments Patrick! The video includes contribution from others, I mainly used the drone and editing. We had a fun day out and great fire in the evening...life is pretty good. The farmer was well happy the silos were brought down, the father who built them in the 70's was well pleased they are down, were no longer in use, attracting vermin, using up valuable plot space.
The video was great, but the music was Awesome!
Great music, enjoy spending time with you.
cheers Jimmy! What a fun day out....a first for me!
Good on you Jimmy, I wish you every happiness...keep smiling my friend!
Jimmy Garlon
I enjoyed the music and the video. Thanks
absolutely welcome! Happy you enjoyed
My dad did it with his brother. Using chains and sledge hammer to pull down silo
you certainly held one heck of a party to celebrate it man!
Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this silo! 😁
Great job! Well done!
Love from the Netherlands! 🇳🇱
Netherlands! Many thanks....sorry to ask an ignorant question, how do they demolish old windmills? Are they protected?
A
Aaron G I’m not dutch but historical windmills are preserved in most cases I’d guess.
Great music!
Cheers Roger, variety is the spice of life as they say
You should make a trip to Iowa if you want to see collapsed silos.
A bunch of Harvestore silos have partially collspsed.
And just stand in the country skyline bent in contempt of a poor integrity design which apparently slumping hay can create a vacuum inside the silo and cave it in.
Many thanks for mentioning that, something I'd never given thought to (as a city boy). One thing I have noticed is the wad of dense silage that sits at the bottom of those old structures. I can only image the reaction thru fermentation etc !
Silos looked in decent shape you probably could’ve sold them people still use them
Not sure man, I guess he had his reasons, I believe he mentioned the "tiles" (wall material) held pretty good value. I'm uncertain if he sold all the good ones
Very nice drone shot at 1:50
I love tearing down stuff on the farm.. always goes one of 2 ways. 1 I'm told to rip it down. Doesn't work so I get bigger equipment until it does... Or 2. Try to rip it down and when it refuses I burn the damn thing down.
Either way is fun and always seems to end with a loud crash.
Tannerite is great for that kind of thing albeit expensive. Would love to see someone on youtube destroy old silo using it.
@@mr.shannon6137 there is a video of a guy using tannerite on a barn whistling diesel used a .50 cal and wound up shooting himself
Joel Salatin calls those things "bankruptcy tubes" and his logic is correct
I guess there was some "quiet" joy ripping them down if that was a "driver"
The music made it. Great footage, great music. To hell with haters. If you don’t have some nice to say......
many thanks Mitch, I'd rather pursue a smile than a scowl ! Peace be with you mate!
got silage?
the second video shows some silage that was remaining in one of the silos, no wonder the birds were happy in there!
I remember when my dad used to put these up. The used to walk along the tile while going up.
G'day Scott....your dad sure must've been a brave sole. The silos over 80ft high
I completely understand that they tied them self off somehow. But yep dad told me many times they would go up so high then put the steel round supports on. And keep on going up
here in uk remember fred dibnah he used to knock down chimneys by hand like you mentioned dad walking around the top placing the bands.
Farm life and snow! But tearing down the silo, barn or something and spice to life!!!
....the contrast with snow and the farm is quite striking, especially for us city folk. Its great to get out there to gain an insight into the reality both positive and negative. Also there is a certain freedom felt from being on the land, isolated from "the big smoke" which allows you to clear your mind and appreciate what surrounds you (including the occasional craziness - fun)
😎
Look up the one on you tube where the silo falls on the excavator that was punching holes in it,the operator walked away,the excavator didn't look so good.
Hi, yes I took a view and wow that was impressive!
Like the way of demolition 👌👌
adapting to the environment and tools available one could say
What’s a pidgeon?
Oops! I did some sckoolin !
"Job's Done!"
ua-cam.com/video/0W4q1Gp4Ha8/v-deo.html....link to 2019 silo collapse at Charlie's farm. I hope you enjoy! Many thanks for all of the positive comments!
Thank you for sharing!
Many thanks! Absolute pleasure
I liked the bonfire at the end - I could almost smell the wood-smoke!!
Going there tomorrow, there is gonna be a big fire and stories to tell!
Thats cool!!! Pretty good way to bring a silo down
....am happy others did the "risk assessment"!
Silos are more trouble than there worth. Chop it pack it in a silage pile best way to go. Less machinery to own also
So you forgot one?
A pity I was collecting firewood when they dropped it, kinda disappointed we didn't catch it but still a great day/eve out
G'day David, number one was the first collapse, the second was the aerial drone shot, the third one was down before we even arrived
Now that's a good time
I suppose a tad better than comatose in front of the computer in the big city like I usually am! It sure was a "hoot", the big fire and "quiet" drinks after rounded out an eventful day! Mind you the usual windbreak was no longer there
They look like fun people, my kind of people.
DAMN GOOD MUSIC 😎
Cheers for the muso!
I wanna come out to the Johns farm! You guys are probably related to me!
the place is an experience, all who visit love it.
No love for silos. 😪
It looked like the silo was getting eaten by the ground
Cool video
Cheers bud!
Badger ring drive unloader. Don't see those much anymore. I don't care what anyone says, damn good unit
Pidgeon? I didnt know that pigeons are now called pidgeons. 🤔
In would like a dollar for every time I received a comment on that misspelling LOL
Liked the music! Only thing to have made video better woulda been explosives!
Man, that would've been cool and something I'm sure crossed some minds LOL
I would love to have one of those silos at my house.
Can you imagine the storage capacity? LOL "I can see Russia from..."
Same, except there impossible to move :( so a new one would have to be built
@@TexasRailfan2008 the amish take down stave silos and reassemble them
You should have made one knock the other down like dominoes!
What a way to have a good time! Bonfires and all. Great job demolishing those pigeon perches!!!
Thankyou! It certainly was a fun day out but tricky trying to manage the power in the drone enough to take the footage. Thank goodness we caught one from the air. As always, its alot of fun on the farm and sharing a rum around a warm fire makes for great memories
I don't understand the 'Pigeon Control' thumbnail thing at all. Must be some sort of farmer humour. Because that can't be a clickbait right? Right??
wasnt intended as clickbait at all, the birds were considered a menace and another reason to demolish the silos, not too healthy to have birds crapping near food storage
I'm pleased that there is a 'mute' button!
and your welcome to use it!
Thats too much fun!!!
I'm waiting for the next call regarding a demolition even if I can't spell pigeon :-)
Love the music.
