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 - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
