I bought my own bagger when we started milking cows in 94. Between my use and custom work we have done hundreds of bags. With a little management there is very little waste to a silage bag. We always had a stone pad with a solid base to put ours on. When feeding you let the bottom plastic long and cut the side plastic every few days. With a skid loader there is very little hand work maybe just shovel in the edges once or twice a week. Like mentioned below the issue is when you tear the bottom back under the feed when scooping in. Just makes for more work untill you get back past that spot.I feel there is much more waste to a silo than a bag. Every time I open a silo I end up removing 2-3 feet of spoiled feed(even with a plastic cover as it seems that rats,mice or a coon always tears it up). A silo unloader is so much slower than scooping out of a bag and if it does not work you need to fix or fork. We have a skid loader and a loader tractor for bags.We also like the bags in that we have unlimited storage and two people can harvest silage. A bunker takes a third person to pack and then the big job of covering.I have a small herd of beef cows so we do feed out of a silo in the summer as the unloader takes a nice even layer of feed off each day. With the bags the loader will disturb the face and makes much harder to keep feed when only feeding a small amount it hot weather. Tom

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
