uprights had/have their place. still alot in use around here. for a small farm without much if any hired help they're great. flip the switch and your done. like everything keeping it lubed and maintained well is key. top or bottom unloader. a local guy here fills the upright and then piles some on the ground and covers it. once the upright is 1/2 empty he'll blow the pile into the silo. I guess they don't like to feed with a skid loader off the pile.
some guys here have both an upright and a bag. feed the upright when its cold out and the bag when not so cold. but seems to take them 2x longer to feed the bag or bunker.
when i was at Gehl seen a few different types of bunkers from all dirt to all concrete built into a hillside so you could dump from the top or run a self unloading wagon from the top. he then covered the top with defective chocolate and would let it melt in the sun and seal the bunker. Then he would just feed off the chocolate and everything I guess the concrete floor dirt side ones i saw supposedly kept well. don't know how. their hired help couldn't pour p1ss out of a boot if you wrote the directions on the heal.
several around here had the concrete uprights with the center unloading chain flail setups that feed out the bottom. only 1 or 2 out of many i know that is actually in use still.
if you don't already have an upright i'd think getting one even used would be cost prohibitive. i'd hire a bagger to bag i think.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
