Explain little on this application apparatus on the end of the chute. What supports it? Like a bracket?   Anything special about the drops? Have seen a crushed end of a nipple work as a fan. Did you provide it or the grinder?  How did you figure out the application rate to match the grind rate.  Seen that machine grind 50 ton an hour. Think it takes  tanker  about an hour to pump off? (It just might be that easy)  Have made 5 hay/syrup piles.  I call it succotash, agree it works very well.    Been looking for a better method to apply the syrup, as we grind and then dump the syrup on the pile.  Coordinating the grinder,the syrup trucks and weather, is very difficult, to impossible.  Least this application apparatus solves one problem positioning it.  Looks like your pile is out in the open, this is our first year to pack into a dome or pyramid shape, have used rectangles like pits and like this dome much better.  Thanks for Sharing.
