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.

That's a fun two week period every year around here.....
