I always figured about 8 ton on a 16' wagon. When you fill one with the chopper, how many tons can you get in a 16ft Badger of Gehl wagon ? Going to depend upon what you are chopping and the moisture content of that product. Years ago, we weighed low 60% corn silage, in our 16 foot H&S boxes, and had 10 ton.
To convert cubic meters of silage to tonnes of fresh weight the calculated volume is multiplied by the appropriate conversion factor from Table 1 below. Assuming the silage analysis has shown a Dry Matter of 25%, multiply the volume of 1,050m³ by 0.68 to get 714 tonnes fresh weight of silage in the pit.
approximately 25 pounds per cubic foot
The auger wagon's primary function is to unload its cargo into other containers or machines. If the auger wagon detects that a valid receptacle is present underneath its overloading pipe's nozzle, it will automatically dump its cargo into that container.
Silage can be obtained in two ways: by keeping it in a covered silo or by wrapping a grass or hay bale. Getting silage from a silo - put grass, hay or chaff (you can get it only by using a special combine) in a silo. You can find silos near a Biogas Plant (available after purchasing).
Baling technology allows you to collect hay, grass or straw, turn them into balers, and wrap them. When you cut grass, you get hay or straw - collect them with a loading wagon, a forage harvester with the right header or with a baler. This gives you bales which are convenient to load, transport, and store.
Silage has several advantages over hay as a mechanically harvested product. Silage has more nutrients preserved per acre because there is less field loss. Silage is also less affected by weather damage because the forage does not lie in the field drying.
We used to have an upright silo that the cows would gather around to lick the seepage from the fermenting corn. They wouldn't get seriously drunk (they are big animals and it's seepage,not flow) they probably would be OK to drive :P.
This is usually caused by the growth of clostridial bacteria in the silage. These organisms produce butyric acid, which smells like rancid butter. Clostridial bacteria normally live in manure and soil, and often their spores are present on forage.
Dry matter losses can be reduced by chopping finely, packing well, filling the silo rapidly, harvesting at the optimal plant moisture, making deep piles of silage, covering the surface with a plastic sheet and covering the sheet with touching tire sidewalls, and feeding at least 8–12 inches/day from the exposed face.

A cow can eat about 55-60 lbs of corn silage per day (33% moisture. To grow cattle from 300 to 1000 pounds on only corn silage would require about 7 tons of silage.
Example Calculation The pounds of silage in the silo is calculated by multiplying: Length (ft) x width (ft) x depth (ft) x density (lb/cu-ft) at the final moisture content. For example the silo is 50 feet long by 30 feet wide and the silage averages 12 feet deep.
