Does anyone in your area custom bag? I started bagging several years ago and it has made life a lot easier. As far as putting it on the ground it depends on how you do it, if you build ''trench'' walls with your round bales and a little dirt around the edges then you can go as high as you can safely pack the forage with whatever tractor you use to pack it, the height of the round bales plus top it off. If you make a pile and cover it then you want to cone it up so that the weight of the silage helps pack itself and also to reduce surface area and limit spoilage, you may be able to rent a vaccum pump and then you can lay down diagonal PVC field line pipe with holes in it before starting the pile and vaccum it down when you cover. The grade of plastic really depends on how long the piles will be there, if you are going to feed it out this winter you'll most likely be good, also, most of the silage covers are fitted and if you go with the pile you will probably have more than one pile. I have ensiled droughted corn before and I had to add water to get the moisture level high enough and added around 150 pounds of ground shell corn per ton to get the starch and feed value where it was worthwhile.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
