    If your talking about a corn crib, you won't make that much.


    If you taking about a silo, you'll make a lot more.
    If it wasn't for the $ in $crap, it would just be.....

    We destructed 3 Harvistors. If it is them Just a warning. They have a thick coating like ceramic coating on the pannels. You can cut it with a plasma cutter but that coating slows things down alot. If you are unbolting the bolts will spin on the back side, if they do the only way I figured out to get them off was the tortch. It was definately worth doing. Back then prices were in the 160.00 a ton price range and we came out on it. I rented a man lift that had an air compressor and generator on it. I think it ran me 1200 a week we did all 3 in that week but we slept in our trucks. The combination of a torch and impact worked well for us. The steel sold as shearing and you can get a fair amount of them on a trailer.

    Rio-I am impressed with the way you handled that job, sounds like a lot of hard work. were you able to let the panels up high just fall? Or did you have to rig them with cables and lower them?
