The one at my place grandpa put up in 71 as a high moisture corn unit and its a white top. There really are not many blue tops around and my best guess it was changed to white tops in the 50s maybe early 60s.
Thinking back now maybe it was 2 years for chains on the one haylage unit. I know we did not mess around with them cause it was a huge expense and pain in the bugger if you broke a chain with feed in the silo.
