Knocking down a silo, demolition

  • Well on a farm we bought this winter there was an old falling down barn and a few silos. Not only that a couple houses as well. We want to sell the houses, and in order to do that, the barn which would straddle both new lots had to go as did the silo. As you can see in part of the video, the barn is gone and all that remains are the piles of dirt excavated to bury the cement floor and foundation.
    Since we wanted to save the milk house, located right beside the silo, we hired professionals to lay down the silo as they know what they are doing.

    Loaded them up with our excavator and hauled them to another farm to make the base for a driveway for loading trucks on.

    The original video was 48 minutes. So yea, I have heard of editing. Why don't you post some videos to show off your amazing editing skills so we can critique them?

    I understand these were professionals, yet it looks way too dangerous. Some mechanization would surely be more adequate.

    @jednoucelovy I wouldn't want to do it, but in terms of price, this is by far the cheapest.

  • @Farmerknowsbest
    @Farmerknowsbest  15 років тому

    Money. Selling the 2 houses will make the 265ac behind the silo much cheaper. Cheaper is a good thing in business. Also owning rental houses is a pain in the back side. Once sold I don't really care what the new owners do with the lots so long as it doesn't interfere with my farming. The barn was not safe to leave standing and there is nothing sadder for a farmer to see than a lone silo. I have much more compassion for farming history than you do.

    That silo was a lot worse than a regular stave block silo. Every row had rebar and the blocks were hollow. Regular silo blocks one slug would knock each block out. 5-10 minutes you can have a silo down. This was obscene.

    Yes I did...thanks. just waited for the whole thing to load and scrolled thru it right to the end. I did like your technique. Simple , effective and did the job.

    Looks like he is taking a leak at 5:56
    Timelapse would have been better for this , over in 30 seconds instead of a :::yawning:::: 7 minutes.

    He knows it's just about to go, gives it another whack, & runs away. Would have been easier to use explosives.

    @IHDiesel436
    That's all that company does is take down silos. 2 guys and a sledge is the best way to do it.

  • @ih966man

    silos are a wast of time and a pain in the back to run and have to clime 30 80 feet to fix the silo unloader, they should all be destroid. i would of put a hole on each side ,put a cable throue, hooked it to the tactor and pulled it down

  • @Farmerknowsbest

    I did with our excavator. Used the blocks to make a roadway wider.

    At 0:45 they spot a snake in the grass, so they kill it then get back to work.

    No, they are from near the Ontario Quebec border near the St Lawrence.

    Why not 3-4 sticks of dynamite from the farm shop?? We dont have silos but lots of stumps are removed that way.

    You gotta give it to these guys though. Takes a pretty tough person to swing a monday hammer that many times. They beat out a helluva lot of block to get the job done. I'd say they earned what ever was paid.

    I always wonder if they punched a couple holes, threaded a steel cable through them and ripped out the blocks (or staves) with a cat or tractor would work. I also wonder how many have been buried because it went too soon, unexpectedly or they moved to slow.
