Alton, Ia
11" WOW.

We've got a 12 ton bin on a 6" pad, poured 30+ years ago, no cracks. We did dig down under the leg spots, IIRC, maybe a couple inches.

If like another poster mentioned, you'll have a minimum charge, pour a bigger pad. Concrete on a farm is kinda like that celebrity comment I heard once- "you can never be too rich or too thin".

What's as or more important than concrete thickness is the prep underneath. Good solid clay, pour thin. Squishy silt, pour thick.
