Back about 30 years ago there were a couple of those units around here, but only for a few years. Some of the folks around here have self propelled choppers, and many of us are still using a pull type and forage wagons. Most of the bigger dairy guys are into a self propelled into a dump wagon, then into a truck to the bunker. I personally, chop with a John Deere pull type into forage wagons for the trip from the field into a concrete silage bunker, where it's packed for fermentation. It works great for us because there is not much manpower required, and I blow the material into the bunker with a blower that can be directed where the pack is a bit thinner. I swap off with a neighbor dairyman who provides manpower and wagons in exchange for help with his silage and some machinery. It seems to work out for both of us, but he has a custom guy come in for the chopper and we usually put up something over 200 acres of corn (your maize) with a yield of over 20 tons per acre- about 50 tons per hectare. That's a fun two week period every year around here.....
