[Farmall] Some ads from the 7/22 Lancaster Farming

[Mike Sloane]

That one caught my eye as well, which is why I sent it along. I was 
having trouble picturing how the buyer would go about removing the silo, 
transporting it to his property, and then erecting it. But I am told 
that it isn't as weird as it sounds, and while not exactly common, it 
done more frequently than it would seem. The only problem I can see is 
that the bottom couple of feet of the wood are usually somewhat crappy 
from the silage "juice" soaking it, so you would probably lose a little 
height. Around here, wood silos (taxed as "structures" and considered 
somewhat unsafe to work in as well as expensive to fill), have been 
replaced by "ag bags" - long white plastic tubes, lying on the ground, 
that are filled/stuffed with rented machines and then cut away as the 
silage is removed over the winter.
