Your unloader will work better if you chop closer to the mid 50's for moisture than 70. That is just too wet for a upright!
Thanks pigshepard. The drier corn silage makes sense from what I can remember as a kid from the 1980's. If it was too dry, I remeber the garden hose running into the blower as they were filling silo. I think the theory that my neighbor farmer had on the high moisture silage was that it would pack better with less air to spoil the silage as it settles. But I tend to agree that I do not want juice running out the doors from it being too wet. Plus more water equals higher chance for freezing solid in the winter (if we get a cold winter up in central Wisconsin one of these years).
