Farmall 560 Diesel, power for silo blower

That 24 hour silo filling was haylage, thus it did settle about 30% and we topped it two days later. You've got to remember also, this was in the 1970s and these tractors were still relatively new at the time, in fact 1066 and 890 harvester were new.

They used an M for towing the chopper and used trucks with dump beds. We used a 10-20
on the blower and that revolutionized silo filling. We gathered all the unemployed in town that wanted to work and it took about 3 weeks working 6 days a week. The chopper took about 3 days to fill 2 big silos and we tramped the silage as we filled. Hal

There was a story in my community of a crew that was filling a silo. There were several older farmers and about 5 or 6 teenagers working on the fill. The older guys had been giving the teens grief all week, and making them pay their dues. On the last day of the fill, after lunch, the older guys told the teens they'd trade places with them and tramp the last of it in that afternoon.
The teens decided it was their chance to get even, so after about an hour, one of them let out a blood-curdling scream, while two others threw an old shirt and a half-bushel of ripe tomatoes into the blower! The older guys about climbed over each other coming out of that silo!

That was however short lived as within two years I bought a new 1066 and NH 890, 560D went to blower and with 300 and 656 both pulling wagons I once again had a bottleneck at the blower. I put a 100 hp on blower and still had a bottleneck.

I doubt if an H will unload a full 16' 3 beater NH wagon in 15 minutes. I blew silage into 70' silo with 560D and that 560 was cranking 90 hp. It would take it almost full speed from NH wagon. I never timed it but I'm thinking most silage wagons at full speed will take about 3 minutes to unload. The H might do a 1/2 full 2 beater wagon in 6 minutes.
