[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 1662"] I need help! We are ready to make an offer on this farm except for one uncertainty (well, ok, there ARE other uncertainties, but this one, we don't know anything about, which makes it more uncertain!) the silo. It is a Harvestore. 20X80 with the original unloader (Goliath). It only has 500 hours on it (makes me go Hmm...500 hours in 20+ years?!?!?!). I've searched, read, etc all I can on Harvestores and their rather mixed reputation, but I haven't found anyone who acutally uses one, except the current owner and he hasn't used it in 8 years. Of course, I'd like a more objective opinion than they guy trying to sell. The unloader is broken. I am not sure if I should get a new one, rebuilt, just fix it, or abandon the whole bottom unloader altogether and go for the top unloader. I can't find what the repair/maint. costs run a year (I think they might be high), and if the sucker is even worth using or should I convert it into housing my teens (someone actually did that). If anyone has any practical experience with these, I sure would appreciate any advice/suggestions/dire warnings! Thanks [email=antares1947@yahoo.com]antares1947@yahoo.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
