    Grains Bins

    Since I got so much response on my x-ray.... Have any of you guys ever scrapped galvanized steel grain bins???? I read you should strip the bolts out instead of trying to just loosen them, saves a lot of time! Anyone......

    I have seen them torn down mainly with cutting torches and heavy equipment.

    A pay loader or backhoe will wad one up into a reasonable ball. It's just about as fast to disassemble them as it is to cut them up, but you need bin jacks to do it safely on the bigger ones.
