richie Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hi, I bought this silo tower today and I have put it next to the drier shed but Ia'm not too sure ehh, It seems to need something I haven't seen a tower close up so Ia'm not too sure what. A auger from the shed, A base for it. You guys will be able to tell me. I will be pulling the whole lot down in about a months time because Ia'm moving back to the uk, So I haven't got much time left. Cheers Richie.

THEBRITFARMER Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Maybe scatter some green foam around the base to look like weeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallclaas Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 There's a simplex silo near to where I live and it's set into a square concrete base about 3 feet high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 the one on the farm we had was a permastore,smae colours as yours,that was set in a ring of concrete,about 2ft high,although it went down beloew the surface to,as the unloading pit was in there in one construction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Thanks for the ideas will have a go at the base, It came with a cheap farm set called Country life. First time I've seen a one with a silo tower in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 Well I took you's advice and this is what I came up with, A bit of chipboard and a splash of paint with a dusting of the green stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 You did well with the advice from the other guys, looks great Richie. When you get everything sorted in the UK get on to EMA and get a man-hole to go in the side of it, a length of rectangle tube for a verticle elevator with the bottom dissapearing into a mesh covered pit and at the top join some round tubing diagonally downwards for loading lorries ... Oooh I can see it now!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 the bits from ema are great,this is where the ladders and rings ect for mine came from can list the part numbers if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 Sorry FB the bloody batterys have kaput on the camera, I'll try and get out tomorrow and get some, Did you what some photos from the other side of the ladders?. Thanks for that Deere-est once I get back to the uk I hope to rebuild the farm and do what you suggested but it all depends on space, Haven't even got a house or a job yet.

richie Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 I'll take some pics tomorrow night Fergie boy. And it is 42 cm without the base Britfarmer. Sorry haven't got back to you sooner FB, It was to hot to walk down to the shop for some batteries at the weekend, 37 degrees so I just lazed in the pool all day. I took these for you I don't know if they are any good to you, The camera is just a cheap one with no zoom. www.ema-models.com Stocklist isn't available there yet but there are the contact details to phone up and order a catalogue and price list. Richie where you moving too then when you return to the mother land? I'am heading back home to a little town called Hexham which is in Northumberland, Half way between Carlisle and Newcastle, I think I'am in for a shock due to the tempretures you have been having lately and getting used to seeing mud again.

richie Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 Yep thats right just down the road. When I came to Australia it was about a year later I was told I was not allowed any clothes or foot wear which had been used or near any farm, Well **** that was every thing, So I arrived here with one pair of new shoes and one set of new clothes. I was just about washed head to toe in disinfectant when I stepped on ozzy soil. But we were lucky we didn't get foot and mouth, There was six farms left around us who were saved as well.
