Deere-est Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 As you want to make your own, have a look in this board for a topic about making your own by Sipher_172 (I think). He made some amazing ones for the matter of a few quid. I also have two George Poole silos and they are superb, mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
