Leroy Staffanson cleaned up his farmyard and simplified his on-farm storage by stacking smaller bins on top of each other on his Sidney, Mont., farm.

"We combined four small 1,100 bu. bins into two larger bins that take up less space and make it easier to store our crops, which are larger now than when the bins were built," says Staffanson.

He used a high-reach tractor-mounted hay stacker that he built himself (featured in FARM SHOW's Vol. 6, No. 6) to remove the roof on one bin and to lift the second bin up into mounting position. The bottom ring of the top bin in the photo was removed because of rust. Staffanson overlaid the top bin two corrugations over the bottom bin and used a sharp punch to make bolt holes.
