What would a fair rate be for pushing/packing silage for a 425hp 4wd tractor?

Have you considered not using a blade to level? If your using pull-type forage wagons/carts, just use your 4wd to pull the loads up on the pile and slowly dump them as you drive across the top from one end to the other. You will be surprised how much a load from a 24' wagon can evenly distribute itself across the top of the pile. You get a better mixture of crops this way also when you feed out of it from the ends. It works well for us with a dualed 375hp 4wd to pull and pack loads. Only in haylage sometimes, which balls up a little coming out of the box, do we use only a front end loader tractor to level some larger piles. With a good hired hand and some experience on the 4wd, a loader/blade is almost never needed.
