Oh, it's surprising what they can throw up there. My dad left a logging chain in a self unloading wagon once. We had to dig it out of the silo. From that day forward you see the "bump" in the blower where the chain got wedged between the paddle and the housing.
Yeah, it looks like they haven't shut it off since they bought it. The M in the beginning looks good. Probably barked up a storm, too, with that straight pipe & the Shred All with a mouth full.
those blowers still amaze me Ikon , wet material up 80foot silo
Like wet lettuce through a salad shooter!

Great majority of tower silos seen today on farms are no longer used.
An 80 foot silo in 1958 was big stuff.
It sure was & the blowers were just big enough by then to fill one.
Thank you Ikon
Glad you enjoyed, Michael!
After seeing this, I wish I had an all-Gehl farmstead!
Gehl was some of the best equipment made, especially for a "Short Line" manufacturer. It was a sad day when they left the Ag market.😢
Thanks for sharing!
Love the old footage! It's leik NewsReel at the cinema

The M-TA was only 4 years old in '58 and looked like it had a rough life.
