north-central Indiana west of Fulton | Bought former dairy farm close by 19 years ago to put heifers mainly,but also had pole buildings a home ,2 silos ,and a couple bins. Lots of repairs were required including updating a poured cement sealed silo with a new 5"pole flail bottom unloader. About 18 fills or less later the pole is losing attachment points and we figured needs replacement. Last week dug out about a 6' circle around pole (under filled last time so as to be empty before first cutting hay) . Today pulled pole off shaft & decided we will save shaft and 4"& 5" bearings and put new pole and chains on it. Always dread repairing chains and hammers on these unloaders but I guess thats just the way it is. Didn't know if many of these type unloaders are being used .
