it works differently than I originally thought it would 🤔. I also like how that control panel looks.

Yes, I wasn't sure how it would work either. Yes the panel looks good and I got to operate it and it was pretty simple.

Wow, I did not even know they made new stave silos anymore. I think I would have hired the Amish to find a local existing stave silo, tear it down and rebuild it at your place.

We priced it out and it wasn't much cheaper. The staves are the least expensive part of the process. Still have the labour, digging and pouring the foundation and an unloader. All that and you would still have old staves.

I have seen the fellas running silos put down salt on the top before covering the silage after filling to reduce spoilage

Good idea! We've done that with hay in the mow to keep from heating. We hope to not have to let it sit, again but continuously feed out of it.

You need to put a clean chute bag in the silo chute you will love it

Good to know! We were just talking to our dealer about that when we were getting a conveyor figured out.

Should have got one in before you used it and got the chute dirty. They make a big difference.

What make and model of unloader do you have, I’m very familiar with Jamesway and ValMetal ones. Can’t beat the quality out of a upright silo, I never minded the climbing
@HollcanaFarm
@HollcanaFarm 4 ай бұрын
This a Yellow Jacket unloader. It is almost the same as a ValMetal Nordic 215 ring drive but has more aluminum parts so it doesn't rot out as quickly in the silage and is a bit cheaper.

Thank you for sharing. Looks like your weather is about the same as were having in Michigan. Is this the first time ever feed out of your silo? Or first feeding this year? Be interesting to see that build of your feed room too. Hope things work out for the best for you.

Was wondering why you built the new silo away from the barn?
@HollcanaFarm
@HollcanaFarm 4 ай бұрын
We planned to make a feed room we can drive into with the TMR. We didn't want silo's and feed bins blocking air flow to the cows in the new barn.

We dont use tower silos here (Ireland ). How do you compact the top or do you just accept some waste will happen ?

Well, this year we had a bit of waste but in the future we will probably start feeding right after filling.

@@HollcanaFarm I was imagining a bunch of guys packing the silage by trudging around inside the silo .😁 Its a different setup here ; cattle are outdoors maybe eight months of the year. All silage is made in pits ( bunkers )

He must like climbing up and down silos better than I ever did. Like my feet on the ground. How many pounds will you feed per cow at maximum? Sorry have no idea what kilograms are😂.

Since he was little he was always climbing. I had to make rules that he couldn't climb anything when my sister was watching him. Too many kids to haul to the hospital. I'll find out the pounds for you😊

It’s funny in my area in central Pa. , the Amish may buy a farm with a 20 x 60 or bigger silo and since they don’t have electricity to run an unloader, they tear them down. They then put up maybe a 14 x 50 or higher. Reason is the wider silos are so hard to fork silage out of. One tore down a 24 x 80 and a 20 x 70. 😢😢😢

@@geraldsieber7266 Wow! Seems strange doesn't it. We have had a pile for years but my guys hate packing it. More afraid of rolling a tractor then climbing a silo. Also hate the waste of plastic that isn't recyclable like the hay plastic.

You will damage the silo if you keep butting the bucket up to the silo it may not happen today or tomorrow or the day after but it will happen

You could be right but hopefully it is temporary enough that it won't get damaged. 🤞
