Center Pivot Bunk Silo

Center Pivot Bunk Silo IRRIGATION Miscellaneous 26-1-3 What do you do with an old center pivot once it's out of commission? Eldon Kuster, Crook, Colo., came up with one of the best uses we've seen. "After a tornado ruined our center pivot, we salvaged as many pipes as we could to make a holding bin for ground hay. "We first anchored some 2 7/8-in. dia. well pipes securely in the ground. Then we simply cut holes through the sides of the center pivot pipes and slid them down over the well pipes. A couple extra well pipes were placed behind each wall to provide strength for when we load out the hay and have to push up against the walls. (The wood light pole in photo is not part of the structure). "The idea came from Steve Booth, who used to work for us." Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Eldon Kuster, 32981 û Rd 83, Crook, Colo. 80726.
