Got the silo full finally on Sunday. Only a couple small breakdowns. The sickle drive on my chopper broke,you can see it had a very poor "farmer" weld on it. The guy obviously believed that quantity made up for quality. Lol. I didn't bother to grind all his crap off since it wasn't going to do much anyway,and I was in a hurry, so I just cleaned off where I needed to work and rewelded it. I also needed to keep part of the old on so I got the arm timed right. The frame on the Badger box also broke where they commonly do. So I repaired that as well. I forgot to get pics of the strap I added to the bottom of the top flange to strengthen that, but it's there. My favorite oldest son Eric came up to help out too, that alone made for a great day. As you can see the earlier planted corn is drier and much taller than what we planted on the fourth.
