Grain Bin Remodel: 35 Degree Auger through the Wall
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- This project took a while. 27 foot bin, 7 rings tall. 14 inches to bottom of floor. 6 inch unload. 2 horse auger motor. The sweep will cover 345 degrees, and the last pile can be pushed over to the sweep. And guess what will never happen??? No elbow to plug, no tractor to start for a secondary auger. Pure quietness while unloading from the bin.
Retired math teacher. Life time of hearing "why are we doing this "I'm never going to use this". Thank you Jacob.
I have the paper showing my work, but I decided o against giving a full math tutorial. Don't worry, I have another bin to remodel just like this. Maybe I'll lay out the math then.
Everything depends on priorities,
weather, money and the unknown. Things will get done....when they get done. I'm sure in a perfect world you might do some things differently but we are far from a perfect world. As the trainer said to the boxer...."Keep swinging"!
Well done young man, well done. For what its worth, used through the roof for many years you wont' be disappointed. Won't peel off like silicon. Sealed up the joints on our 1466 cab to keep leaks out. Even works on roofs.
That makes me feel so much better, thank you.
That turned out really nice! Try not to let the haters who think farming is just planting a seed & letting it grow bother ya too much!
Nice work! I like that idea for grain bin unload!
Pythagoras and your teachers will be proud. Great work.
Glad your back nice invention for the bin hopefully this’ll make unloading easier
It is wonderful!
Great idea, great video. Been wondering where you were. Keep it up.
More to come!
Hang in there , hope all of you are better now .
We are all moving good.
Your videos are the REAL DEAL. KEEP IT UP MORE OFTEN PLEASE. Better than videos about em bitching about calves freezing to death in Fef. who would of thought? duh
Well done, great job hope it last for many years 👍
Two thumbs up on dust removal
Nice job on the bin
Thank you! Cheers!
That floor was put in backwards, compared to any I’m aware of. Usually floors are started away from the door and out auger, allowing the subsequent planks to be set down into the previous one. Your planks are 180° opposite. They obviously work the way they’re installed, but you work would have been easier had the planks been installed as I’m familiar with.
Pulling floors up is easy in concept, but gives a good workout. I’ve helped pull and install several floors. Good looking job.
Well, the floor was installed correctly, I just started backwards and didn't take up all the floor.

It is installed correctly, yes, in that it’s not in danger of collapsing. That’s not an issue at all in my mind. Your installation round the pit should work fine.
All I’m saying is that every floor I’ve been around, (including ones I’ve helped take up, reinstall, and seen installed by bin crews) is installed starting away from the door, where yours was in essence started at the door. The first piece installed being set so that it has the “female” half of the joint, so that the next plank is set down from the top, instead of having to lift the side of the first piece up and slide the second piece under.
Don't worry about the naysayers just do your job the way you want to do it thanks for the videos appreciate it 👍👍👍✌️
Big project, nice work
Nice work Kalib, keep up the good work.
Nice fab work. Hopefully that through the roof works out for ya as someone else said it should. We did something similar a few years back, took the floor out of a 7,000 bu bin and poured an inverted concrete cone in it and set an auger like that to feed a dryer. Used everything under the sun but always got water seeping through. Never an issue since corn doesn’t stay in the bin long. Have to try some of that stuff on it.
Nice job- that should work great!
Things get done as they get done. Need to teach my wife that
Yes!!!
Good job making things easier and more efficient. Looking forward to seeing the auger work. Thx
More to come!
Great awesome video Jacob
Thanks!
I have no idea what he did. Enjoy watching it though. Fine job, sir.
That was a job well done, nice video also to show from start to finish
Thank you! Cheers!
nice long video thank you
You're welcome
Good job indeed. 🤜🤛🤜🤛🇬🇧🇺🇸
Nice job
And good job👍👍✌️
Impressive job fabbing that well and auger then getting the floor smoothly mated to it. That cable anchor idea looks simple and effective. Question: Is your slide / cover rod going to be 90* from the auger or did you do some serious trickery under the floor to get the rod out the same direction as the auger? Regarding your "late harvest", I'm with you that most commenters don't understand growing / raising specialty crops / products. My guess is that most years the produce, chickens, eggs and greenhouse carry the weight on your place. Probably on about 5-10% of your total acres, too. The row crops, cattle and hay spread the risk, offer diversity and synergy with the specialty stuff, and let you cash in when it all comes together on a good year. I'll bet getting that grain bin finished will take some pressure off your corn harvest and give you a lot more flexibility. Keep your eye on the prize! Thanks for a very cool video. I dig your channel!
Hmm, I guess I didn't film the gate rod; it is 90 degrees from the auger. You'll see it two videos from now.
Thank you for understanding and putting into words the risk spread, more eloquent than I could muster.
Nice work! I'm jealous of your math skills.That galvanized metal appears to be of much better quality than what is available now.That silo offers quite the lighting and acoustical challenges.
If you're interested something regarding your work at the 19:00 min.mark just Google....."Never Saddle A Dead Horse". It's something that stuck with me when I apprenticed for my Journeyman's Card.
Thanks for the video and best of luck.
Nice work! The only thing I would suggest is in the gate piece where the hole is to put a carriage bolt through(head inside) to keep the gate from pulling out all the way.The perfect time for it to come out is with a full bin,and no way to get to it
Ok, I guess I didn't show the two little screws I put in the gate.
@@boehmfarm4276 Maybe you did,I may have missed it(wouldn't be the first time)! Thanks for the video!
Nice build Jacob. Did some fine fabrication work in building that setup.
Don't let folks comments get yah down, you do you and I appreciate you taking us along for the ride.
You planning on doing this to your other bins?
One more bin will get this treatment and the other one will be a real wild ride to leave most folks wondering.
That’s a lot of work to put One auger in.
The compost can be useful.
Won't the pressure of the grain slightly compress the auger housing? In turn pinching or binding the auger? Just a thought. Thats all........ that auger looks a little well let's say "gently used " lol. I hope it work well for you.
The paint isn't new, but the flighting isn't worn. There is also grain under the auger. And the tubing is stronger than you'd expect.
Love the vids man
Thank you
Nice job. Looks like only two more to do? I admit that I did pause a bit when I saw you using cinder block. I seem to remember a disaster the last time you did. Different load though. Cheers.
It is very common to set drying floors on cinder block. I am not wild about it, but I guess it works. Yeah, the other two will have work done, eventually.
I'm sure your not finished yet but why so steep?
Not out far enough to fill dump truck from our angle 🤔🤷♂️
It sticks out five feet. With a little spout action outside, it'll throw it a little farther. Truck will have to be pulled up right along side the bin.
Brilliant fabrication work! Any plans for some kind of weather cover for the motor?
Probably a bucket or something.
Jacob hour come you didn't put a vertical auger outside where that old one can out from, it would of been more work to get that all set up bet they are nice to unload out of, but I suppose you already had that other auger laying around the farm some where!
I have been collecting floors and bin parts the last couple years. This auger came with one set of parts. The vertical unload augers take some power to run, and I figure the base where the grain changes direction would be troublesome especially if water got in.
@@boehmfarm4276 Jacob they do take power to run grain straight up an can be a problem where the transition box is, some times easier is the way to go!! Spare parts always good to have around!!
That floor would of been a lot easier if you had started on the correct end
I didn't take all the floor out and didn't want to.
@@boehmfarm4276 would of only had to take out a couple more sheets if you started from the other side!
@@boehmfarm4276 like they always say “ work smarter not harder “
I was thinking the same thing. But I wasn't going to call him out on it. I've done enough stuff that I should have done different. Life lessen. Lol
@@s.pursell8901 wasn’t calling him out.... just a helpful suggestion
Tell the truth Jacob. Nick did all the math,right?
Hello Jacob, does the new auger need support struts inside the bin, or can it do without?
Right now, it's doing without. I think it will be fine.
Are you going to be able to park right beside the bin and load grain trucks no baby auger needed?
That is the half the point of this setup, which forces the junk out front to get moved.
@@boehmfarm4276 I always try to find ways to “innovate” to give my dad reason to remove some of his junk.
What do you do with the old floor pieces?
There were only three planks that were replaced because of rust. I can cut off the rusty bit and use them on the next bin project if need be.
How do you regulate the lid, is it by hand or what?
There is a rod to pull out the side of the bin. In two videos, you'll see.
@@boehmfarm4276 OK thanks.
Problem is no sweep can ever be used a lot of shoveling
See that post in the center of the well??? There will be a sweep. It'll cover 345 degrees.
What happened to the original auger in the ben
The poor flighting plum wore out at the elbow.
Wouldn't it have been easier to replace the flight
@@scottmakurat5159 easier? probably. better? no
we have 3 Grain bins with low curbs and have to dig out them stupid unloads every year to fit loading augers underneath. this is a good idea we may use for when we install an air floor in the next year or two
2+2 fixed yet?
Nope
A squared plus B squared = C squared.
👍👏👏👏
👍👌🇨🇦❤
help me out with the math
I take it your welder not working.
It zaps the steel together.
You need to make your buddy a regular in your videos, he adds a little satire.
Nick adds something alright....
Nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
