I was wondering If a Farmall H will run a 23" silo blower

Always used an H on a John Deere blower filling a 30 silo. The H was overhauled with the firecrater pistons and could handle anything you could get into the blower.

Like someone else said " I'm not sure what a 23 blower is." Your question refers to a 23" silo blower. Is it actually 23 inches in diameter or a model " 23 " of some brand ? Many years ago ,we used an H as PTO power for a 6 paddle ,56 inch diameter blower filling 40 and 50 feet tall silos through 9 inch pipe. It did it--- VERY slowly. Used a 504 for a few years, then a 756 then an 856. Each one faster than the one it replaced. I don't think HP and silo height have any correlation. As long as PTO rpm is held constant at full speed, the silage will go through the pipe whether it goes 30 feet or 60 feet or more. What does matter is the rate at which it is unloaded into the blower. With a small tractor, increasing the rate of unloading into the blower loads the tractor more and more causing the RPM to decrease which slows the speed of the stream of silage going up the pipe. If you want fast unloading you had better have the hp there to keep the PTO turning at full speed . You can use the H and it will do the job but it will take twice as long to do it as it will a 60 hp tractor and three times as long as a 90 hp tractor.

Hi,

We never used anything but a Farmall H on a New Holland blower. It worked just fine with a 50 foot silo. We then upgraded to a New Holland whirl-a-feed blower and the H could run it easily. For years it would also fill one of the silos with Haylage and it did that too, just had to go a little slower with it.

Although, I am not sure what a 23 blower is. So, what I said may not apply to you. I would really need more information about the blower.

Yes ... when I was a kid we used to run a belt driven silo filler with an H. A few years later we got all modern and ran an new silo filler with an H with a PTO drive.

I have seen silo fillers as much as 45 feet run off an Allis WB.

I remember once we filled our 14 x60" with high moisture corn with a H on the blower. We first ran the corn through a roller mill so the capacity of the H was limited to the capacity of the roller mill. I was pretty young when we did this but I remember it worked. Silage out of a self unload wagon would have probably been another story. You"d have to feed it pretty slow.

We've been filling silos for decades.

What are you blowing? Corn silage, especially if it has ripe corn in it, has every blowing advantage over haylage. It consistantly blows much easier and in the event of plugging, unplugs MUCH easier.

The H will get the job done with corn.

I wouldn't even attempt it in haylage unless your unloading tractor (and wagon) will run EXTREMELY slowly. Haylage is tempermental stuff.

We filled a couple of 35 ft silos with an H driving a belt blower. You had to be careful about how much you fed the blower. Eventually traded the belt blower and used a Ford 961 on the new PTO blower. After the 806 was purchased for the chopper, the 450 was "retired" to running the blower.

It might, but I doubt it. Like Gene says that pipe is a job to unclog once you fill it full and then can't move it up the pipe.

I've always heard the rule is 1 hp at least for every vertical foot.

Ross, that HP rule would be about on the money, isn't an M about 40 HP? Our upright was 40'.

I am not familiar with the sizes of blowers. We had an old Allis Chalmers blower on a 40 foot upright. This old blower was belt driven and fed with a feeder about 8' long. We used a Farmall M and it pulled it pretty hard blowing good, heavy corn silage. I dont think an H would have done the job. We probably lost a little horsepower with the belt. All I know is that if you ever plug the thing 30' up, it sure is not fun!!

Good luck, Gene
