Warming Shack Makes Bin-Watching Easier

Warming Shack Makes Bin-Watching Easier CROP STORAGE Grain Storage 20-6-8 "We built it to keep my wife and mother warm while they mind our bin site during harvest," says Steve Logemann about the "bin shack" he and his father Wallace built a couple of years ago out of lumber and camper parts. It mounts on the 3-pt. of the Logemann's Deere 4450.
The Ledyard, Iowa, farmer welded two 6-ft. long pieces of heavy channel iron to the bottom of the Cat. II hitch, which mounts permanently on the side of the shack. He then bolted 6-ft. long 4 by 4's across the channel irons and covered them with 2 by 12's for flooring. Two by 4's were used to frame walls which are made of camper window cutouts from the Winnebago company in nearby Forest City.
A house screen door, along with shingled plywood roof, completed the shack. At 5-ft. by 6-ft. by 7 1/2-ft. high, the shack accommodates two adults comfortably. It even has room inside for a small desk and an electric space heater, Logemann notes.
Before harvest, the shack is pulled to the bin site and set onto a concrete pad that once held a grain dryer.
Out-of-pocket expense was less than $100.
