The guys on here claiming this is a waste... Do you keep fixing your old flip phones? You still driving your first vehicle? These bins are obsolete. Very hard to move intact and just as hard to tear down and rebuild. You all notice they are vertical sheet bins? They haven't made bins like this in decades. The shell is the cheapest part of a bin. He was smashing the shell. The new bins will have horizontal sheets, better aeration systems, better unloading systems, better loading system

Dang tearing 10,000 bushel bins.... my dad would have flipped to have those, I remember back in the early 90's when my dad bought two big hoppers with aeration (They were Bader Hopper Bins for any SK folk out there) and he said they were gonna revolutionize our grain storage. And they were only 1800 bu each our big bins before that were Westeel 1650's. I know farming and farming practices have changed and to be productive and competitive you gotta stay with them. All the best, and hope the Harvest of 2019 fills and maybe even exceeds the capacity of the new bins!
I realise these bins have issues, but I could only wish for this much storage, annoying bins or not, lol. But I guess here in Australia aeration isn't such an issue.
I know exactly what you mean. I have 2 8k bins bought that I need to move. It's going to be interesting to get it done. If it falls apart I don't have much I. It so I can make wind break for my cows. Win win I hope.
I actually made one - a quick one! But I was driving around with the side by side doing it and now I just realized I have a "pause" button in my phone for videos! 🤦♂️🤷♂️..... So now what?! It's 10mins long.. I could post it, or just make another one and pause it everytime?
@@mikemitchell2554 nice one mike, it looks like you guys are running some big farm. would like to know a little more about it. just like the equipment and farm tour you where talking about on here.
Great Video. I liked his method of caving them in and then removing them. Looks like it was not his first day at the Rodeo. LOL. As long as the metal is recycled then I don't feel too bad and yeah eventually things rot or rust out and need replacing. I hated to give up my ole trusty 89 Blazer as it was rusty but still ran great. Knowing the metal was recycled and the Kidney Foundation got some $$ for it mad the loss less painful. LOL.
Would be a good application of time-lapse... your phone might not do it, but dash-cams can do time lapse. Or you can do it in the editor... lots of wasted space on the recording then. Would have loved to see a time-lapse of the entire set of bins demolition!
Its easy for us in our chair to go WTF what a waste. But when you live with your tools and the tools won't do the job any more you get a new tool. I grew up on a farm and bins were $$ and you did what you could to save $ but back then it was your labor VS paying a hand so sometimes being penny wise is pound foolish. There is a bridge for sale near me, yes an entire bridge and the next town over initally was going to buy it for epic cheap , but the cost to move it setup it up and certify it for use is more then the cost of building a new bridge. Did you try and sell them locally by chance? I wonder if any locals would a have moved the bins or if their real value was really scrap. You must really take care of your stuff because there is no way I would have said those bins were 40 years old.... us chair folks just saw the pretty parts, not the mice, old wires, inability to keep grain dry ETC.
why didn't you just leave them and build bigger ones some wear different and the bins look alright there just a little small and you could put them on hoppers it cost more but it's easier to clean out
Good question! They were rotten for one, they were in the way for yard expansion for two, and they were the main source for mice in the yard for 3, (and Mike hates mice😂!) and they weren't worth spending any money for 4, and lastly they didn't store grain well. 🤷♂️
@@spencer1096 we thought about that, but it doesn't work with the runway to the south, we are running out of field because we are beside 2 roads.. And neighbors field 😬🤷♂️😂

It’s mind boggling to think that those bins were once all that the yard was

Always baffles me these things are so flimsy in some respects but some how stop 10k bushels of corn from spewing everywhere!
Takes a new meaning to ‘take out the bins!’
Thank god. Those were painful to load out of. Way better loading out back!

Haha I love the win wins! 😂
It’s time for an equipment and farm tour Mike!

Post the whole thing
Done! I will post it then!

Yeah it was all recycled ♽
@@mikemitchell2554 sell the older bins and new people be havingto fix it again wich cheaper going fresh new then is fixing old
Great video Mike

Hello Mike
I used a excavator w a shear att. To cut some up for a customer. Took hours. Wish a had a bucket and thumb to roll it first.
All about cost keep getting it done.
2:26 That's one huge can opener. :-)
Thank ya sir!

I did try.. And at the end I was just trying to give them away haha 😂 🤷♂️..
that's one way of dealing with mice problem.
I do hate mice!!
I did not know, that Hitachi makes can openers.
Bins new ones are a pain in the ass. Should be some better designs
Mighty looking farm! How many acres are use farming
Enough to keep us busy Niall Fearon 🙂
Ooo behlens their headquarters is in my hometown
So is there no video of putting up the new bins?
Cool Video
Thanks North!

yeah they were kind of crappy bins but you could have expansioned your farmyard out in the field
@@spencer1096 we thought about that, but it doesn't work with the runway to the south, we are running out of field because we are beside 2 roads.. And neighbors field 😬🤷♂️😂
We quite literally, live in a society
Underground bunkers?
Where is this farm located ?
south western Saskatchewan
Are you the owner of the farm? Also great videos but I think you could get much more views subs and views thaks to editing!
It's a family farm, I have 2 more bros :) I know I prb could... But I am crazy busy and quite honestly would need to hire someone to do that!
That's a fair point!
Wish you had a pack of rat terriers.
So you buy your bins at Walmart
Ha! Well, they are 30-40yrs old... Haha but you know it! 😜🤷♂️
Dang I would’ve bought a couple :/
I tired to sell them.. To no prevail.. Heck, I tried ot give them away! 😂
Mike Mitchell wow I’m surprised but I’m also sure everyone up there is well over that size of bin
Down here in NC they would have brought $2-3k. Its a shame.
redbovine he lives over 2000 miles from NC, it be cheaper to buy a new bin
@Bobby Sue wow what do you know about me?
Why not keep those bins and forget about ag bags
I think they mostly bag chick peas because they keep better in a bag
Anti rodent upgrade, in progress.
Mike kids in Africa could have eaten those bins 🤦♂️
Hope they recycle that material
Yes sir 🙂
Anybody this Bobby Sue person replying to my comments? #Mikemitchell
I would took those bins😂
what a waste shame
