Fellows used to have Harvestor movers around here. Would think you could still find some around. They back up to a silo, tilt up & strap on a frame, unbolt the bottom, tilt it down & haul. I know they could handle 40', maybe up to 60' with permits. If you want one, that would be the way to go, lots cheaper than redoing all those bolts.

Never used one, but you got to be fanatical about the air tight stuff, and the bottom unloader stuff needs to be like new every year - you are stuck if something breaks.

Top unloaders aren't much better. Lots of repairs.

Plastic bags were popular 'here' for 5 years. Then the hassle factor showed up, and now concrete bunkers are the way to go. With the old bag machine around to handle excess capacity.

Last upright silo that went up around 'here' was in the mid 1980s.
