  • They got lucky when the bottom jumped out, part of it could have landed the other way on top of them.

  • @shootrbshot Sadly there is no textbook for knocking down a silo. The main reason I posted the video was that it could be a tutorial for others thinking about doing this. I did learn that I took off too many rings from the bottom which allowed it to explode rather than fall. I was very lucky that it went where I wanted. I had a man in the tractor to "persuade" but i'm not sure it would have made a difference if it went wrong.

  • Awesome!  11 minutes to knock it down, how long did it take to clean that mess up? Thor!

  • @mightythor156 It took about a month working with the excavating company. I had it all hauled away to a farm nearby to be used as driveway base. Then he hauled in topsoil later to finish the job.
