In my younger days a belt driven JD blower was used. Silo was concrete with steel rods around it. Can't remember the height but think it was more than 40 feet. Had a roof cone also. The blower loading bed with a auger was made to back a wagon or truck up to. Used head boards hooked to two winch cables to pull load out the back. When unloaded the boards were drug back to the front by hand. Family used to plant corn to outside edge of the fields. Before cutting field, a strip was cut near center of field by hand and layed to the side. Then fed into the silage cutter by hand to keep from wasting any corn before starting on the standing corn. Was a dairy farm, I didn't get away from the farm long enough to know there was better ways of doing things, until uncle sam decided I should do something else for a while. Also used JD cutters. Had 2 with there own power engine. One had a V4 wisconsin, other a 4 cylinder continental. Last one was used the most. Both were crank start, if the wisconsin died or had to be shut off in use. It was pretty much a no start until it cooled down. Tractors used, farmall H, ferguson 40 and a ford. Silage equipment was the only JD stuff on the farm.
