I have an older model surface drive AKA "pack drive" Badger unloader in my 40' silo that I plan on getting ready for next year. I have no experience as to how to fill a silo with a surface drive unloader as next year will be my first year using the silo since my folks bought the farm and they are not farmers so I take care of things. I remember growing up on my grandpa's farm he had a Jamesway ring-drive unloader that had the deflector pan on it to distribute the haylage/silage from the top as it entered the silo. What I need to know is how to prep the unloader for filling the silo and if it is possible to distribute the haylage/silage with the unloader or is there a different method? Thanks
