equipment you use to fill your silo.

spreader With a 9" gooseneck, it is designed for
average capacity blowers and silo sizes

gooseneck Its larger size all but eliminates plugging
problems, even when you blow in haylage It is
especially helpful in larger silos

capacity silo filling equipment to the limit All parts
of the Blue Max subject to wear are made 25%
heavier - and the stainless steel plate is twice as
