As silage is removed from a bunker, the remaining silage will spoil as it is exposed to air, more rapidly in warm weather.  Equipment such as that in NAL #4956 is designed to efficiently remove silage from a large bunker silo and to minimize exposure of the remaining silage by making a relatively smooth cut down the exposed face.  The cut silage may be loaded with a front end loader as illustrated in this image into a feeder wagon for fence line feeding (e.g., NAL #4782) or into a mixer wagon (NAL #4784 and #4958) to be combined with other feed ingredients to create a total mixed ration (TMR).  Similar equipment is used to handle large bales (NAL #4952, #4953, #4954 and #4955).
