scrutch Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 I've seen this done a couple times. This one didn't go quite like the ones I've seen though. This one was a much taller silo. It collapsed more straight down than falling over. It really isn't a crazy way to do it. Lots of farmers know this old trick. It IS very entertaining though! Quote

Super User Lund Explorer Posted April 3, 2014 Super User Posted April 3, 2014 That was one of the most painful videos I've ever seen. The operator of that camera needs a tri-pod, or if its one of those head mounted Go-Pro's, would someone PLEASE duct tape his head to a tree! 1 Quote

scrutch Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Does anyone know a BETTER way to knock one down? Quote
VolFan Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Runaway tractor? Det cord? 1/4 sticks? Your friend with a sledge? Quote
Super User Teal Posted April 8, 2014 Super User Posted April 8, 2014 That was incredible. Stupid but incredible Quote
scrutch Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 It should actually be a very controlled demolition. The knucklehead in this video made a mistake by removing too many of the metal hoops at the bottom of the silo. That is why it collapsed so suddenly. With the hoops in place, the silo should just topple over in a predictable direction almost like felling a tree. If you want to see a really cool demolition, search YouTube for dancing silo. Quote
Kevin Beachy Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Common. Thats very common in the amish/mennonite race to do things like this grand fun watching. Quote
