Sumner GA, Located in southwest GA, | Don't take this the wrong way, you have heard everything there is to say in this thread, but for what you are proposing, I wouldn't even think of anything but a bunker. You are already running the loader, you want to unload into a commodity barn and then reload, you are going to risk spoiling your silage from having it sit and heat in the pile or unload too much or not enough at one time unless you are real good with a stopwatch. $35000 plus concrete costs will pour a heck of a pad, heck you change your mind at least you can build a shed over it, it will be faster to load even if you have to hire someone to pack for you, faster to unload, and less expense if you arent religious about maintenance.
FWIW I would love to have a few Harvestore silos, but the numbers will not justify it, I have tried, I cant do it short of hitting the lottery. Best of luck whichever way you go. |
