NEOh | My dad had an AC forage harvester with a direct cut head. He cut red clover and filled with that. An AC table blower put it up. Wagon had drawbacks which pulled the material to the back and then it was fork time by hand. Forks were hoe shaped to pull the clover off the wagon. Blower was powered by a flat belt running off a JD B. Getting it out of the silo was all manual labor. Not pleasant when it froze to the outside of the silo and you had to cut it with an ax. Went to corn silage in the 1970's, same wagons and blower. Same unloading method. He used that all the way into the 90's when he sold his cows.

How were the silo's filled days gone by?
