<p>you will have little spoilage if you pack the pile hard enough. i wouldnt use bales. we laid cement last year for our piles, then started using the 4 wheeler to pack. before we used a 5240 maxxum w/ loader to pack. it did an excellent job but you have to keep it packing constantly. dont put too much down at once and a smaller tractor can do a good job( providing the silage is wet enough- 67+ moisture) make sure you can pack both ways on the pile w/ smaller tractor as the edges can be dangerous for tipping.</p>
