Tow-behind trailers for silage became standard practice around here about 15 to 20 years ago. When I was young, it was all dump trucks being driven alongside the harvester (usually a tractor pulled unit). During High School in the mid 80s you saw the transition to even the small farmers going with "chop wagons" as they're called around here. It's now the exception to see a truck driving alongside. Part of it is loss blowing over the truck; but also the lack of manpower to keep a truck always alongside. Another common variation is to have one guy running a harvester / wagon, and one truck driver...and *two* trucks -- driver drops off an empty truck, and heads back with the full one. The harvester dumps into the empty truck when they're ready and goes back to harvesting.
