Tipping into the lobster? No dramas about over loading then either.
I have spent plenty of hours waiting at silos as well. Spent one season carting to Tomingly West and Peak Hill for a mate in our old tipping table top Kenworth. Plus years carting our own grain to our local silos.

Yeah it's sad. Those silos were built by the then Wheat Board. Grower owned organisation. It's all shut down around here now. When I grew up harvest was a big event. Trucks lined up the highway waiting to get in to unload wheat. My kids haven't even seen the silo open. Very little wheat grown around here now. It's all grown in marginal country west of here now.

All changed now, we have a large graincorp site 5 kays away and what used to take weeks, now is over in days. Always interesting going onto farms working, never know what you might find in a shed or gully. At least prior to the boom in scrap prices. Around here I've seen all sorts of rare cars get pulled out of sheds or under trees over the years, numbers are dwindling but and thanks to the internet everyones pretty switched on if they have something special.

Yeah. Talking to Mark in Dyno flow in Dubbo the other day. He was lamenting wrecking 7 or 8 Sandman vans to make Utes. Not to mention he had to pay $30 to throw the bodies in the tip! He also wrecked a Bathurst Moaro that had a rusty body. How times change.

Silo's ran 24 hours, thank goodness it rained a couple of times so we could get some sleep.Attachment 12286

That shed in the background looks like Weemelah, we upgraded that in maybe 1997. New switchroom and bigger motors on the elevator and conveyors if memory serves me correctly. I think we put machinery on a bunker too at Weemelah from memory, new grain elevator, conveyor and a stacker (I think they called them Dragons). I stayed at a pub in Mungindi when I was doing Weemelah, the accommodation were little ATCO huts out the back of the pub. Biggest T-bone steak I ever had was there!

That is Weemelah alright HK1837, and was the pub the Two Mile just over the border? The first day I arrived, rain had washed out proceedings for a couple of days and I got sent there to wait, broke as usual. A pub with no beer is bad, pub with beer and no money is worse.

**HK1837** · 16-01-2015, 01:37 PM

Not sure, stayed in a different pub or motel every night while doing those sites.

That one tonner has what appear to be factory buckets and seat belt stalks too. Unusuall in a one tonner if they are original I would have thought.

So true James. we skied out there for years. Went there in the original panel van and I am sure we prob know the owner. If anyone is genuinely interested we could go for a drive out there for a look it's 1.3/4hours

We too used to cart Rodney's family farms wheat to small silos, lined up in old Acco and desoto with bins which had small sliding doors. Not allowed to use those old girls now it's all road trains and tippers and wearing high vis and exact weights or you have to tip it out at a designated spot (they prob auger it in to silo later for free) wheat farmers follow the weather bureau, get rid of fences buy up all the smaller farms rent the houses to feruls, spray the crap out of everything then sow. It's the way it is now and we move with the times but I do wonder if that is why we all have cancer.

I realize and rant over

It must have changed so much out in that Bogan country from when it was mostly sheep with a little bit of wheat!
Bogan being Bogan River country and not bogan country lol.
