Cutter for SiIage.
There are on the market several
, makes of silage cutters that will give
satisfaction, according to Farmers
Bulletin 57S, issued by U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. The capacity
Of the machine is an important consid-
Grafton which should not be over
looked by the purchaser Many per-
sons make the mistake of getting a
! cutter which is too small, thus ma
king the operation OF filling the silo
very slow and interfering with the
continuous employment of the entire
force of men.
1t is better to get machine large
enough so that every one will be able
to keep busy all the time. The larger
cutters are equipped with self-feeders,
a lahor-saving device which the small
Ter sizes lack. Other factors to be
taken into account in purchasing a
cutter are the amount of work to be
done and the power available OF
course, for the filling of very small
siIo it would not be wise to buy a
large machine. Neither would it be
advisable to overload the engine or
| motor by using cutter which is too
large for the power available.
Two types of silage elevators are
in us-the old-style chain carrier and
the blower The chain carrier re-
quires less power, but is harder to set
up and there is more litter when it is
used, especially in windy weather.
For these reasons the blower is now
fast displacing the carrier.
! The blower should be placed as
nearly perpendicular as possible so as
to reduce to the minimum the friction
of the cut corn upon the inside of the
pipe and lessen the danger Of clog
ging.
The power necessary to operate the
cutter will depend upon its size and
whether the elevator is chain car
rier or blower and upon the rate Of
feeding. 1t is possible by feeding
slowly ID get along with less power
than would be required when feeding
to the full capacity of the machine.
AS a rule, however, there should be
sufficient power to run the cutter at
full capacity. and even little surplus
is advisable If a gasoline engine IS
used, about / horsepower for each
1-inch length in the cutting cylinder;
that is, 15-inch cutter viii take a
15-horsepower engine, ar 1s-inch cut
ter viii require an 1s-horsepower en-
CINE, and so on. If a steam engine is
employed, the power should be at
least two-thirds of that indicated for
the gasoline engine.
The usual length of cutting varies
from one-half to l inch. The latter is
considered a little too LONG, since
pieces of this length will neither pack
so closely IL the silo nor be so com.
pletely consumed when fed as the
shorter lengths. On the other hand.
the longer tie pieces tne more -spidiy
