Silage Blower

I could truck it out with a couple of single axle dump trucks and a big manure spreader, but I think it will take too long (labour intensive)and the fields are really wet until June.

Any thoughts as to whether this would work or if it is too far to blow the sawdust. I know they blow a lot of sawdust in mills etc.

I know the blower works, but I have never used it, I do not even know why we have it. We always filled our bunker with trucks and loader and we never had a silo. Dad must have got a good deal.

The ground was frozen for about a week the start of Jan, we almost got out skating, then it rained.
The water table is very high right now. I will start pumping my fields out soon, but there is constant hydrolic presure from below to replace the water just removed.

I will let you know how it worked out.

I'm thinking corners will kill you, you would need a straight shot.

Is it all granular sawdust, or any splinters & strands to get stuck? Plugs will be a bear to work out.

You will end up with a pile out in the field, not sure if you want it spread or piled?

With grain vacs it's easy to pull grain around all kinds of bends & such; but much harder to push grain. It's easy to set up the airflow & introduce as much grain as works to pull. Hard to guess how much air to use to push - too much air wastes power, too little air makes plugs. Probably the same here?

Like I said, just the numbness talking...
