ABSTRACT:
A silo unloading chute is disclosed which is installed in a silo (10) so that silage may be unloaded through an access chute (22) provided for human access to the silo (10) without fouling the access chute (22) itself. Adjacent to each of the doors (16) in the silo (10), a hoop (34) is positioned, and an elongated flexible tube member (38) is suspended from each hoop (34) extending so as to hang into the hoop (34) next therebeneath. Thus, silage introduced into a one of the hoops (34) enters the tube member (38) hanging therefrom and falls successively through each successive tube member (38) therebeneath.
