Back in the 70s I was a member of a crew that build a couple of these silos, according to this they come down faster than going up...

Explosives is probably the safest way. This seems like poking a bear with a stick.

Easy way taking them down is start knocking blocks out at the bottom with a big sledgehammer. About half way around it starts creaking then falls to the open side. Taken 5 down that way. Run to beat hell opposite direction!

I've done lot's of demo big and small , adding pole and using it was brilliant , far safer , keeps machine and operator safer . Creates great escape options if it goes the wrong way.

I climbed up my grandmas and cut the bands one by one, it took me all day. I guess it helped that the top was decades gone though. We used the salvageable bricks for tree rings, they work great for landscaping.

And so goes another piece of our history and heritage. So sad.. I’d rather see a high rise or shopping mall come down and reverted back to farm land

One problem is most insurance companies won’t cover farms with silos. I am battling that now. I have two on my farm. They want them torn down or won’t insure you.

Only got half of it. A much easier and cheaper way is to take a high power rifle and shoot the cast iron blocks that the steel reinforcement rods bolt to and tighten with. The cast shatters and the bands fly off to the ground. Then push it over or wait for a strong wind to do it for you. Works every time.
