caterpillar guy; RUN from Golden Grain Bins they are cheap because they are cheaply made!!!! They like to advertise they are cheap because they deal direct and do not use dealers. That is BULL hockey!!! LOL The sheets are THIN. The bottom sheets on a Golden Grain bin are thinner than the top sheets on a Brock or Suckup bin.
A fellow close to me bought three of them 4 years ago. His are nine ring 30 foot bins. He has a continuous flow drier that dumps the corn out at about 100 degrees. HE uses a pneumatic system to take the corn to the larger bins. He got along the first year fine as the corn was only around 18-19% moisture in the field so the corn out of the drier was cooler and therefore settles less than would be normal. The second year he had more normal moistures so the corn was hotter and settled more while cooling. The first bin he filled crumpled right at the top of the air floor when he had it about 3/4 full. He called the company and they told him his bins were not designed for an air floor?????? The after he raise cane about that they then told him they where not designed for cooling "Hot" corn in. Long story short they just would not warranty his one year old bins. All their talk about no dealers also meant that the customer has no one to help out with the company either. He made stiffeners out of three inch channel iron and removed the bolts at the end of the sheets. Then he put the channel irons uprights under these bolts. So every 6 inches the bins walls where bolted to the channel iron up rights. He had as much in his bins as he could have bought Brock bins for after the uprights.
So check the actual sheet thickness out before buys any bins. Also the wave or corrugation makes a difference in the strength too.

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
