About 6:30 the phone rang, my aunt called and said my uncle put 5 loads of silage in the silo and didnt raise the unloader...He's a wreck right now. lol Not much you can do though, it happens, but i bet he'll never forget now! So we gotta go up there in the morning and start pitching it out. Only about 8 feet has to come out. Better then 25ft and 90 degrees out. Cant win em all.

He is not the first guy to blow silage on top of an unloader. That why I spent more than 30 years building bottom unloading concrete silos. (LOL)

I feel bad for your uncle but we all goof up from time to time. Could have been much worse.

In time your uncle will laugh about this. I remember years ago Dad forgot to hook wagon to picker and went quite a ways befor realizing it. No big deal we picked up the corn and laughed about it for years. It was 170 picker on D-17. Mistakes are made every day and cost people their lives and the pain never ends. I hope that never happens to any of us.

Neighbors were chopping silage with a Hesston field queen. He extended the tongue on the wagon to hook up but never backed up to lock it. He went about 100 yds before he noticed. Right by the road too.

I've never done that. Of course we never had an unloader (other then me). I don't think I start on all the screw ups I have done. Not enough space on the computer screen. LOL
