western iowa | I have moved and helped move a few. I suppose at 10,000 bushels you are talking about a 30' bin. What is the route like that you will need to travel to move it? Like has been previously said, it is best not to have to totally dismantle it but, you will need to be able to take 30' wide up the road so are there any bridges that you can not get across. If you plan on adding a ring, it needs to go probably above the door and be heavier guage like the lower rings are. If you do some checking around you may be able to find a used ring, but it needs to match your bolt pattern. I once moved a 24',dismantled it down to 2 rings and the roof and moved it with a planter trailer like they used to have for non-folding 8-12 rows. It is really not that big a deal to dismantle the lower rings if you have plenty of help and an impact wrench. You will have to take them apart anyway to add the ring. I have rented jacks but, if you know someone with a crane that is easier. I would not spend over 25 cents a bushel for the bin, unless it is newer. The bolts, renting jacks or crane,getting help and time involved will add up and you will have a used bin when you are done. If you buy a new floor,out auger and the concrete, it is the same cost as putting up a new one that size. Good Luck.
There are bin moving companies that can be hired to move it, do a little research and you will find them. | |
