South Central IN | I’m working with three 20x60 stave silos with pack drive unloaders. The unloaders date back into the 60’s I’m guessing, but have been pretty well kept. Since they are slow and a lot of maintenance, at some point, I’m ready to say so long to the silos and go to either a pad or bunker. I have no interest in bags. They look like a mess. I need to store about 1000 tons of corn silage. I have a hill I can dig into to make a pit, maybe 5-6’ deep. I feed 80% of my silage Oct-April. I would be filling tmr wagons with a skid steer. What works and what doesn’t?
Concrete or asphalt base?
Three sided, just 2 side walls or a flat pad?
Is any certain depth ideal?
Poured walls, construction blocks or precast?
Estimated cost?
Thanks
