You probably won't like this answer, but if you made more frequent trips up the silo in colder weather to clean off the walls, it wouldn't get built up quite so much. Thin buildups are much easier to peel off with a silage fork than letting it go until the unloader won't go any more and having to beat it off with an axe. I know Dad watches the weather and any time it gets anywhere near freezing this time of year, he's up the silo to clean the walls, averages about once a week.

Having done the whole chip-with-axe routine, it's awkward. I think a "Big Mutt" or one of those shingle removers would be a much more comfortable tool to use. You could stand up and work vertically instead of horizontally with the axe.
