Thank you to everyone for your responses. I appreciate them and the stories.
Pete's story sure sounds like hard labor! Yet, a good labor - feeding the cows that feed your family. A personal connection to the provision.
I wouldn't want to chip frozen silage off the walls! The sun's rays must have lead to some crooked unloaders.
I work in a building that used to house the A.O. Smith company - they built silo unloaders under our roof. I'm sure it could tell stories.
Donald's story sounds familiar. I was always the low man because my dad hobby farmed beef. One tractor, no silos. My best friend's dad had a 65-cow dairy with a GIANT 1066 International with duals and a cab!! They had two silos, both had blowers but we forked it to the cows out of wheelbarrows.
So now I'm curious. How does a bottom unloader work? Wouldn't the silage just pile up tight and "bridge" over? How do you claw it outta there? That's a lot of weight with all the material up above...!
