The JD 5830 is joint owned between myself, my brother and my oldest two sons. Four way split. We have a 10 foot Kemper head for corn silage. They already have switched the heads over to a JD 693 (6x30) and are starting ground ear corn. My brother and my sons all feed ground ear corn. I use corn silage and hayledge.
The cost per ton to harvest it and put it in the silos runs right around $10 a ton. Into the silage bags it is around $12-14 per ton. This is just maintenance, labor, fuel, and capitol interest.
The uprights silos are cheaper because of the longevity. Higher up front cost but longer life.
If I was starting from scratch it would be bags or bunker silos. Since I already have the uprights I may well use them. They are nice in the spring when it is muddy. And also in the summer when I am feeding fewer tons per day. The bags are great in the winter on frozen ground.
