[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 973671, member: 16453"] Well I picked up a silo today, no real bargain but it will do the job for me, holds about 5 ton. It cost $1100, I had set myself a limit of $1500 so under budget. I have a little repair to do, I did not realise that it still had about half a ton of pellets in it and when picked up by the lift points it squeezed it a bit and one post has dug into the fibreglass a bit, should have used a spreader bar on it. The old fellow I got to lift it with his crane truck was next to useless, wouldn't do it how I wanted to put it on my truck but beggars can't be chooses we got it on in the end and I got it home ok, luckily fibreglass is easy to repair and the repair is as good as the original. The sale was at the Westbrook jail that Campbell closed down early this year and got a bit of criticism, all I can say is that the place is very run down, mostly temporary portable cells and would have needed a lot spent on it to bring it up to scratch as a modern prison. The auction was very expensive, about 700 registered bidders, the auctioneers were smart asses and bullied the bids. They are well known in the district and everyone you talk to hates them, but the buyers allowed themselves to be bullied and paid the big prices, fortunately there was not much competition for the silos. Just got to get it off the truck now and stand it up without dropping it. Ken Ken [/QUOTE]
