Dairy farming in Holland

Instead of boring everyone with my guess the engine posts, here is one a bit more farm related. Feed for dairy cattle is a long stemmed grass cut long and chopped to about 10 inch length when picked up by a combination chopper, wagon, and unloaded. It's dumped in a bunker silo, spread with an attachment resembling a heavy duty Tedder, and packed to a depth of about 3 feet, and tarped It is cut out in cubes by the red attachment shown on the front of a loader and dumped into the feeder wagon shown that chews it up and feeds it in the alley in the barn. This is not a TMR mixer, supplements are top dressed or fed in the parlor. Different strokes for different folks. Ben

Sorry for the upside down pics, I think it has to do with which way I oriented my tablet when taking them. Still learning! Ben
 
Probably because the loader attachment is not able to cut out a cube of feed in the middle of the pile. May also be that less frontage is exposed when the pile is cut back to floor level?.? Ben
