For my own part, I'll stay with bunkers. I can unload them with any one of 2 or 3 loaders I've got around. It's not that I don't see advantages to the Harvestore's, or stave silos for that matter; it's just that the disadvantages seem greater to me. The one thing that always comes to my mind, relating to dairy barn equipment in general, is that's it's almost always poorly maintained. It doesn't matter if it's a top unloader, bottom unloader, or skid steer unloader. They're all the same. They all break. And we use all of them every day, have little or no time to fix them or maintain them, and they will all break. Choose you pleasure. I'd rather feed with another tractor loader until I fix the skid steer. That's not to mention that I do a lot of other work with the skid steer.
I'd say if you don't mind spending some time and money to maintain the unloaders properly, and keep them in shape, then you'll get along fine, top or bottom. If you don't, then you're probably better off clear of them. Both. I'll be straight and say I don't like working on anything in or near a barn, so I'll keep the bunkers....
