Packing Silage

Packing the bunker silo is the most important and also the weakest link in the whole harvesting chain. We are using tractors with front-end loaders to achieve the required pushing capacity, maneuverability, operating weight and flexibility to match the different bunker silo sizes.
We have been conducting bunker silo density testing for the last few years and we are using the test results to continually improve our packing technique and to train our operators and supply information to the farm operations to improve bunk management.

We are currently using a JD 8330, a JD 7920 and a Fendt 920 with loaders and rear blades for packing. All tractors are equipped with duals, loader with a bucket, and a heavy 3pt bulldozer blade as a counter weight. The tractor operating weights are between 19 and 22 mt.

A JD 7810 with single tires, loader bucket and rear blade is used for packing smaller and high energy corn bunkers.
