Way back,living in silo country we had a"silo filler".Shocked cornstalks etc were thrown on a metal conveyor which carried them into a set of cutters,then into the blower housing to be blown into the silo.There was a very similar machine that did not have the blower assy,but simply chopped up the stalks/fodder etc fed in w/the conveyor and dumped it out the other end.This is the antique machine I am trying to find the correct name for. Thanx

Yes, we called them ensilage cutters, too. We also had an old Papec one. They were replaced with tractor mounted or pull behind ones. So you can't find too many any more.

I remember working around both of these machines. The silo filer was a "Papec" where the green corn was bundled and haulled to it and placed on the table which feed it into the chopper and blew it into the silo where it fermented and made silage. The shredder was a "Rosenthal". Corn was bundled, shocked and let dry in the field. The shocks were made by standing the bundles on end to form a teepee. A rope with a pulley on one end was thrown around the shock (teepee)to pull the bundles together very tight a strand twine was used to hold them together The bundles were hauled to the shredder where they were placed on a table located on the shredder. The operater would feed the bundle through a set of husking rolls which remove the ear of corn and fed the stalk and forage througn a revolving set of knives. The stover (stock & forage) went over a set of shakers (like on a combine) to remove the shelled corn. The ear corn came out a elevator and the shelled corn was augured out the side. The stover moved to a blower and was blown into a stack or barn. Some of the first shredders had a Web staker insted of a blower. This was a elevator made with two webs that had pieces of wood running between them that served as a elavator. The shredding was done the fall or early winter and usually was ring of neighbors that worked together. Wish I could fine a "Rosenthal" to go with our JD Model 50

Check back 8 pages to a post made by watson524 and see if this Papec ensilage cutter is what your recalling. The post is, I can't even identify this relic.

In the old books they called them corn shredders or corn husker and fodder shreders.
