Might be a stupid question why is the fan and output auger on opposite side to the other bins.
I’ll answer that in the last GSI video!
Ignorance
{At the 22:16 mark. Ben asks Bandit if he wants some of the donut} What we didn't see was the crew building the Grain Bin had an issue with a stuck jack, Until Bandit stepped in to save the day. While the Hoomun (Ben, was busy attemptin to offer ideas of how to free the stuck jack) Bandit waltzed up too said jack an hiked his leg... Upon finishin his work he trots off. A worker seein the "Help" Bandit provided figured "what the heck, nuthin else has worked so far" he gives the controller a nudge and sure enough the jacks start liftin the Grain Bin!! Way to Go Bandit!!! Everyone needs a Blue Heeler!
Everyone needs a Blue Heeler!
Donuts, pizza and beer 🍺 gets you a better job
Grain Day in the morning!
Good call on the food man. We always remember the jobs that we had breakfast or coffee bought for us. Excellent PR move
Again, I’m so proud of you! (Old enough to be your mom) Been watching our farmers on YT for years, one thing I’ve NEVER complained about is a long video, esp one like this. I’m no tech genius but I’m pretty sure everyone can click ahead & skip what they don’t want to see.
👍✅ good points!
Now that’s team work my god they sure do hussle
They sure put in the work!
those fellas do not waste time
Lunch and treats will pay you great dividends. Those boys will never forget that!
Correct! 👍
I helped my Dad put his York Bin together. It must have been about 1989. The wind blew the center tree over before the roof was assembled. Lucky it didnt kill someone. It bent one of the side panels leaving him one short. He then had to drive to York Nebraska to get another panel.
Used to work for Ridgetop, those boys are family and they work damn hard. Rob is a great guy too and honestly working for him isn't bad. Long hours but he treats his workers very well.
Zach is literally family he's married to my little sister 😂
Good crew!
@@iowANFarmer Amazing men working in that crew! I miss it some days for sure!
My company in North Dakota builds 50 bins a season. Didn’t have the best view but it looked like they grabbed the wall sheets right off the stack and didn’t add the seal around the seems
Hello! May you fill them countless times...
👍👍👍
Thanks for the video! Very informative!
My pleasure!
That was very interesting to watch. I’ll bet it was hot and noisy working inside that bin. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Very Loud.
Hi guys wow I never knew they put the grain bins Together like that thank you for the video very interesting keep up the good work Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia from the big island
Thanks for tuning in Cliff!
Excellent pour and music segment. Great editing.
👍👍
It looks like you learned a little from Coles bin site nightmare . Looks good.
Built 2 GSI bins in early 70s a 10,000 bu and a 7500 bu good bins. Hand no FOUNDATION like that 😂. Enjoy your life time investment young man,something you can truly pass on to future generations 👍. Thanks Molly an Ben !! Oh one more thing,help my brother build GSI bins now and then when I can. Ear protection and a good tool belt. Bet those are Banir jacks,probably misspell that. 😮
I don’t know what type of jacks they were. It was surprising loud!
@@iowANFarmer Bainter jacks,those look just like what I have been around. Not much talking when the impacts get to going 🤣🤫. Thanks
Awesome!
Man, THIS is awesome. I love seeing how stuff is done, I wouldn't have guessed they jacked the roof up like that, but it makes sense in retrospect. This is why I love the internet, I'd never get a chance to see one of those massive site cranes go up but on the internet, I can see it... 52 years and never saw a metal grain bin go up, now I know how that works.
One thing, wear some ear pro! All that generator noise, cutting, impact wrenches... that stuff will destroy your hearing, especially in an enclosed echo chamber. As a life long shooter with some hearing deficits even WITH hearing protection, it amazes me how many of these guys don't wear ear protection.
They actually wear ear buds a lot of the time, just didn’t look like that in video
Wait, your not selling baggies of field dirt to fund the project? lol (I wonder if anyone will get it)
I'm picking up what you are laying down! Lol
Bahaha 🤣 he has some self respect
Nice job #Ridgetopfarmsupply !
Good video man
Dam. Them boys know there craft.
Very efficient
Great video documentary. I really enjoyed that !!!!🤠👍
cool video.🤓
Excellent video, a tip of the hat to you.👨🌾
Thanks for watching!
Thank You
I have seen a lot of bin projects on CZcams but never one covered in this detail. Well done!
👍👍👍👍 I appreciate it!
Great video sir , getting to see how grain bens are built from start to finish is educational . Like it is said , treat people right and they will treat you right .
Great video! Thank you
You bet. Thanks Greg!
I'm putting in my first grain bin, and found a fairly detailed .pdf from GSI on grain bin installation and site prep for a 21' bin. I'm only at the foundation part of the video, and there's a few differences. It says to only use rebar (2 rings of them) on the footing, and then use 2 layers of 6x6 wire mesh for the interior of the pad. Also, if the footing is over 2' wide, to go 12" on center with perpendicular sections across the 2 rings for the rebar. So it goes from it looks like 24" on center rebar in the video, to double layer 6x6 mesh in the manual. One part I don't get in the manual, is it only shows 6" max for above ground concrete, minimum 1' below. Which to me, doesn't make any sense. If you have any grade at all, you'll be about flush with the ground on one side. Also, the manual shows a 1/2" expansion joint between the footing at the rest of the pad, it doesn't look like the foundation in the video has one. So....does the manual not really matter, or is the video cutting corners? I'd hate to do it wrong.
17:37 And I wondered how in the manual it says to put the anchors in the concrete while its still wet, but still be able to align it with the bin, lol.
Great content, keep it up!
Thanks!
Very cool video!
👍👍👍
Cool project great video.
👍👍
NICE WE LIKE IT
👍
Another great video,
Thanks Justin
I like it! Shared it on my Facebook page.
Appreciate it!
Great video, very informative.
👍
I hope popcorn balls can be substituted for popcorn. Hey, Halloween is coming soon! I use to love popcorn balls as a kid, so every Halloween season my daughter gets me the popcorn balls.
That’s acceptable
Top NOTCH!!!! Great job on construction!!!!!
👍
great location, This is awesome!
👍
Very much enjoyed this video.
Thanks David!
Outstanding video.
Thanks Byron!
I built bins for 10 years for kbi out of Kansas and swiessgood out of Nebraska i loved it but live in ga now no bins just hooper tanks
Because of the ground or crop types?
excelent video ben thankyou for the knowledge
👍
Interesting content Ben👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks James
That was a well done video. I very much enjoyed it and keep up the good work
Thanks Dirk!
Love your style your right in the heat of the action
I like to learn!
@@iowANFarmer yes you do that's great 👍
2nd from canada ottawa here
thank you Ben for the bin video . I have worked around and in the bins for farmers around our small town when I was in school till I got out of school . I knew a little of how they were built . But your video explained all of it . Great video keep them coming . I watch all of them . I also worked at our local elevator in the summer for wheat harvest and in the fall for mung bean harvest and cleaned those things all night sum times and go to school the same day . I am 76 years old and I look back on those time and think that those days were the best and fun times of my life . I am sure there a lot of us old guys out there that remember those days . Any way keep up the videos and good luck on your farming . Thank You .
Awesome comment! Thank you for supporting the channel!
Awesome Video Ben I bet it was a Hot Cookie inside!🌻🌻👨🌾👨🌾👨🌾
Actually with the fall weather it wasn’t bad!
Great video Ben. Gsi is a company and has great products
👍
Very good, thank you for sharing this. The length of the video was well worth it. And from a 65 year old rocker the tunes as always were good. Keep on farming Ben.
👍👍👍
Very cool look at how it all goes together, awesome job of film work and editing
Thanks Howard!
Crazy to believe it's held together by bolts and taps huh? It's amazing what they can hold!
Need to send his info over to cole the cornstar!
Time went by faster than normal. Must've been a good video. 😉
Thanks Dennis!
Ben, I love your videos and how thorough you are in explaining processes. My mind works in the way you lay out the vids... to understand one item I really want to know how it fits into the overall layout - and you must look at things the same way because your content is always laid out to show all angles of a process. Love it!
Great to hear!
Thought there'd be more rebar in the concrete.
Good job Ben, I wonder how long it will be before you install cat walks to go from Grain bin to bin, instead of climbing the steps every time? Yes I know a lot of money, you're doing great! With social media such as this America gets to watch the young farmers grow
Maybe in the future!
More longer vids man i too am an older codger lol
👍
Bin process looks familiar I just finished moving a 18 ft bin. We tore it down and just finished putting it back up
I swear to God I just passed you in Missouri valley Iowa !!!!!!!
Furthest I went to day way Eddyville!
@@iowANFarmer hell you must have a twin lol 😂😂
I thought they would start at the bottom first now I see how they do the storage sheds
Starts with the roof!
Now I know that
I work for myself now. But years ago when I worked for other people and some where real a holes. It just seemed like donuts or a meal made you appreciated.
🍔🥪🍟🍩
This was impressive and educational. I really enjoyed this. Thank you
Thanks!
Interesting video
👍
That aluminum fan is new to GSI as well. Takes a lot less power to spin them up.
Didn’t know that! 👍👍👍
Ben, appreciate your sharing this process. You didn't mention the cost of bins today as opposed to 2-5 years ago? Not specific dollars just general. In the old days, we had a cost per bushel that determined whether it paid to put it in the bin or haul to the elevator.
Cost of bins is up with the price of raw goods. No surprise there!
@@iowANFarmer sorry Ben, I wasn’t looking for specific’s on your bin deal but helping people understand the enormous expense incurred by today’s farmers. And how we have to justify each large expenditure (even small ones) with ROI.
👍👍
Have they stopped using the rolls of caulking on the bin sheets? Hydraulic jacks are some much nicer then the old cable jacks. No more cords everywhere thanks to cordless impacts.
They still put strips on the sheets.
Wow, that was some serious screwing around 🙂 Awesome video about a building process totally new to me (and to a lot of other watchers I suppose). Is there a specific reason why the external equipment is hanging in cables instead of standing on a concrete patio?
It actually works better that way. Concrete will move with weather. We much prefer this.
Why don't they pour a concrete block under the big fan. Instead of hanging from cables that will stretch and put stress on the transition and bin ?
Great explanation hope your hearing is OK after all that noise in that echoing metal bin.
Wait your married now so being deaf to your wife is OK. 😆 🤣 😂
Dumb question. How do you clear out all the grain dust that will settle below the floor onto the concrete?
Actually, that’s why I went with the punch floor - it was an upgrade, but it supposedly lets less fines down below the floor.
Other than that the only way I know is to pull the floor and clean it. Dad had that done (floor pulled for an unload upgrade) and there wasn’t as much under the floor as I thought there would be.
I was surprised you didn't build
30,000 bushel+/- capacity bins.
Were is the honey spot bushels
to Dollars ?????
Nice bins , with good features.
This was built with a purpose - a wet bin - usually the higher number of bu the cheaper per bu
I'm sure you had a reason but why couldnt one of the older bins have been converted to wet bin and then built a larger bin
Hi I am from Kenya how can I get one silo like that how much sir
In 25 years those fine young men are going to wish they had been wearing hearing protection.
Want to guess how I know ? :(
They actually have ear buds in most of the time I’d you look.
It's like the 12th or 13th of the month and haven't seen the video of you with corn or savings yet what's going on you forget about it
Working on them. Just behind. Takes 3-5 hour to make a video for you guys!
how much does it cost
? How come no Lock washers!
Don’t know. Okay they bite in good.
Возьмите на работу
you must be desperate on videos 😂😂🤣
