[QUOTE="hillbilly beef man, post: 1158759, member: 4786"] Our pile was usuall about 30 feet wide, 150 feet long and about 8 feet tall. A 65 hp should be heavy enough to pack. The 2150 we used was much lighter and it did ok. Just keep someone on it all the time they are chopping. You never mentioned what was going to be used to chop your corn. We used a single row chopper, so packing time was not much of a problem. The faster the silage is coming in the more weight you are going to need on the pile. You should be fine with using your tractor to pack I they are using a single or double row chopper, but if they are using a forage harvester that chops 8-12 rows at a time that ain't going to cut it.
