Kingdom of Callaway - Fulton, Mo 65251 | I had a bunker dug back into a hillside, and it was always a mess. After reading on here for several years, I poured a new concrete pad for a drive over pile. First year was 40 by 150, then second year added on to make it 85x250. Being able to drive over both directions when packing does a really good job with my equipment. It is FAST filling, and feeding out of.
I bought a bag of silage at a local auction this past spring. I had never fed out of one. Callao Jon on here gave me good advice - don't let anyone watch when you load out of one the first time! After a load it went smooth, and the silage kept really well. But it is slow and I would only use a bag if I was feeding smaller amounts a day and was worried about keeping a pile face fresh.
I would spend your money available on a flat pad and add to it as needed. Best bang for the Buck.
I have never regretted pouring concrete. You could always feed cattle on it, or add a building over it if you stop using it for silage. |
Educate me on silage bunkers/pads
