We used to have those stacks custom made for us. We had mostly corn stalk stacks but we had a few hay stacks too. They weathered pretty well as long as we used them up before the next summer and we did have to store them in a place that was sheltered from the wind. It was a little tough getting the mover under the stack after it had sat awhile especially if the tractor was on frozen ground or snow. Seemed like the tractor (1070 Case and then 1086 IH) didn't have enough traction sometimes to push it back under the stack. The chain would start pulling the stack apart and we still couldn't get backed under it. Hesston did have that crawler track assist under the back that helped a bit but some times the tracks would stall the hydraulics. Toward the end we had a grapple claw on the loader so we could grab chunks of stack and take it to the cattle.
For corn fodder stacks I still think they're OK as long as the stacks can be stored in a sheltered area and a grapple claw of some sort can be used to feed them. I would think if the fodder or hay was tub ground these stacks would work OK if the tub grinder had a claw to grab chunks and feed them into the tub. Jim
