At a time when many consider the filling rates of the tower silo to be incapable of keeping pace with a custom harvester, some custom harvesters are turning heads.  Tower silos all across the dairy lands are being filled at rates exceeding 100-tons/hr.  While the specifications on forage blowers report capacities of 180-tons/hour for corn silage and 100-tons/hr for haylage, these numbers have not been widely publicized or thought to be achievable.
