Madison Co. Virginia | Inspect the silo carefully before going any further. Will it need plastering inside? -- $10k. Will it need reinforcing around the base of the silo? -- $2k + labor. Will it need some of the lower hoops replaced due to rust? $2k + a lot of labor. Will it need doors rebuilt? $3k, + a lot of labor.
If the silo is worth using as-is, install an unloader. A ring-drive top unloader is the only type worth considering, particularly for that small of a silo. You can find them used for $2-3k without a lot of issue. Hopefully the cables are still in the silo, and still in good enough condition to use. If not, you'll need to fill the silo first, then string the cables, and haul the unloader up in pieces to the top of the silo for reassembly. | |
