Home-Made Feed Storage Bin

Home-Made Feed Storage Bin LIVESTOCK Feeding Equipment 6-3-8 I built a feed storage bin out of two old Model 21 Massey Harris combine grain bins, using a 40 gal. pressure tank cut to size for the top filler hole and for the catch trap at the bottom. The unique thing about 21 Massey grain bins are that they're built of tin and angle irons for reinforcement. The newer bins are built with the tin rolled on the edges for reinforcement. Thus, by using the 21 Massey bins, they fit together neatly. When finished, the bin looks as neat and trim as a purchased commercial bin. I built the bin high enough so I could push a cart under it for hand feeding. The only cost I have in it is my time and electricity, and 3 tubes of caulking. The bracing and angle iron came from the scrap pile and an old windmill ladder.
