I always liked silo filling as a kid. Dad had hired hands cut the corn stalks with corn knives and load them on a flatbed wagon, hauled them to the Papec silage cutter driven by belt with the Super C Farmall, filled a 10 by 27 foot Indiana silo. They had a fill pipe inside also, it was 3 foot long sections linked together with 2 little chains so it was flexible and a guy would move it around to spread the silage in the silo as it filled.
