north-central Indiana west of Fulton | This unloader is powered by a 10 hp motor (hung under cement floor 6' above ground level) which turns the pole. Attached to pole are 1/2 and 3/8"hi-tensile log chains with hammers or cutters on them to form an upside down christmas tree shape or funnel . Silage is suppose to fall out hole at side of pole. Another larger (28" ?) hole is on other side of pole is to be opened if service is needed( and it often is). Very difficult to poke haylage through that hole to get opened up enough to get to cavity formed by chains of unloader. Then have to force air inside cavity for some time so as to have air to breath while inside(not fun). Chains and bolts tend to wear rapidly and replacement is required. |
