When you fill one with the chopper, how many tons can you get in a 16ft Badger of Gehl wagon ?

Chilliwack, British Columbia
Are you loading from the top or from the front? As in side loading or pulling it with the chopper? Would make a big difference I would think, top loading you can fill it better front to back, no? Have little to no experience pulling wagons, that hasn't been done on this farm since I can remember, custom guys here forever.

but my guess would be 8t would be close to the max either way.

I always figured about 8 ton on a 16' wagon.

Going to depend upon what you are chopping and the moisture content of that product.

Years ago, we weighed low 60% corn silage, in our 16 foot H&S boxes, and had 10 ton.  Those boxes were front and rear unload, so had 6" higher sides, and it does matter...... 

I remember weighing them a couple of times, and coming out with the same weight.  

Your mileage will vary....
