Subject: RE: How were the silo's filled days gone by?


We had an old silage chopper blower that sat in the shed for years. It basicly looked like a modern blower, but it had knives on the front face of the blower wheel, and a conveyor to feed whole stalks in to it to chop them up. I assume they cut the corn by hand, unless they could use a binder. Don't know if that would work on green corn.

The blower had a flat belt pulley on the back. Don't know if it would have been run with a steam engine or early tractor.
