 ✖  |
German farmers have started compacting silage in big bunk silos with road compactors, such as the Hamm 50-ton sell-propelled roller. According to FARM SHOW “scout” Andrew Sewell, reporting from England, bunk silos have gotten much bigger as farm-based biogas electric generating plants have caught on. There are more than 7,200 such plants in Germany, most using corn and hay silage as “fuel”. The result is bunk silos up to 30 ft. deep. To pack those deep pits, farmers are starting to use 50-ton vibratory rollers that pack up to 20 percent more silage into the silos.
