Now that I bothered to read the rest of the thread: Ok, it's 333 bu, not 200 like my faulty math... ;) If you can't move it out, then you'll have to take apart. But I'd _really_ look for 7' of space to move it out, that is way, way, way easier than taking this thing apart! Any car trailer will handle it, my car trailer didn't notice the big 3000bu bin I put on it.... Once you take the roof off, this thing will become very unstable & floppy. Be prepared for that. Bin sidewalls are not as stiff as they look. The roof is the stiffening strong part of most all bins. Mark the panels so you can put back together the way you took apart. The holes are supposed to be stamped out the same, but sometimes things settle into a way the pieces prefer. Also on bigger bins the bottom panels are increasingly slightly thicker than the top panels. You _don't_ want to mix that up or a side will blow out. This may not be an issue on your small feed bin tho. Use new bolts to put back together. I'd really look for a way to move it out whole - if I didn't mention that before. ;) It's easier and safer to set on a pair of 4x4's and skid out real slow & careful than to handle those sheets of floppy tin comnig down and going back up on a ladder/ scaffold..... Seriously. --->Paul
