Chopper require a god amount of maintenence. Knives need to be tended daily to chop fine and not use a lot of fuel and power. I mean a lot of fuel and power. I used to keep them up to the ledger so they would just tick the ledger plate as they went around. This would give a cut of around a half inch to an inch long. In hay it would cut about 2 inches long. If you can see the edge they need sharpened badly. If the ledger is not a tight square corner it needs turned or replaced. There are 4 corners to work with there. Then I would use dump wagons or trucks if you are not going to blow it up a silo. Those self unloading boxes are problematic. With the chains if you don't load them only half full for the first few loads in each to soak and slick the floors up. We used to put up 7 8x150 bags each year with the bagger. And if all went well could chop a bag a day. Took 2 driver 3 wagons and no problems which usually didn't happen. 3 corn silage 3 haylage and 1 ground ear corn for a dairy herd. Plus the dry hay. Took about 35 acres depending on the corn to fill the 8x150 bag and it was supposed to be about the same as a 16x50 silo for quantity i believe.
