We got into the corn silage in a bunker due to the upright silo becoming unsafe . And it was a hurry up deal the first year . A friend and customer of mine had his old tile silo crack as it was a glazed tile one and he went and rented a dozer thinking he could run it he found out that he was no dozer operator and he came and asked if i could run a dozer as he only had it for two days . So i went up to help . What he had rented was nothing more then a glorified garden tractor on tracks . The ground was hard clay and the tonka toy dozer would only scrape it and make dust. To speed up this operation i had him use his chisel plow to sort rip the clay and this way we could move dirt . we made the first trench forty feet wide and 150 fifty feet long and eight feet deep then as we filled it when we got to the top of the dirt we put round bales along side and backed them up with two more rows of bales to hold them and put plastic down over the bales . The pile ended up at around fourteen feet high and worked sorta ok the first year . The next year we reworked it and made it bigger and poured a 8 inch concert floor and this helped a bunch each year we make changes and improvements in the bunkers and with equipment . we built the bunkers into a hill side since we have lots of them handy here.
