Had one of them days again yesterday. Had to grind feed,had about 2 loads of corn left on one crib. Got the grinder up to the crib and the recoil on the power corn rake wouldn't work in the cold enough to get it started. So I opened up a different crib. A Behlen round crib with the swinging doors. I tied a short piece of nylon rope around the post and door before I took the stops out. It started out OK,then the corn pounding the door slipped the know out of the rope and it swung all the way out against the winch on the grinder auger. I tried to stop it with my body but it was running out all over the ground on both sides. I just hoped it would bridge up somewhere before the mixer was full,but it didn't. I got the rake handle and a scoop wedged in enough to stop it temporarily,but I couldn't pull the grinder away. I had to get the silage cart and unload in to that. I went and got a small ratchet strap and hooked that to the door. By the time I got another half a load I got the flow stopped and the door shut. I pulled ahead and cleaned another half a load off the ground. Thank God for ratchet straps,but I think it would have been easier and less time consuming if I'd have just pulled the corn rake out and shoveled all of it out of the other crib.
