[AT] Moving a grain bin

[H. L. Staples]

Just remember that with a grain bin the first thing you build is the roof,
with one ring. If the bin is equipped with a grain spreader put in while the
top is at ground level. Next the jacks are attached ( takes three jacks
evenly spaced around the bin) and the assembly is raised to a level that
will allow the next ring to be assembled and attached to the top ring. Some
manufacturers use lighter gauge metal in the upper rings. So It would be
wise to number the rings to put them back in the proper order. For taking a
bin apart attach the jacks raise the whole bin and disassemble the bottom
ring then lower the bin and take the next ring apart. Depending on the type
of jack you may be able to work two of three rings before reattaching the
jacks.
Hope this is clear.
 
Impact tools sure make things simpler and easier.
