ABSTRACT:
Juxtaposed pairs of upright portable bunker wall sections are erected on level ground in longitudinal alignment and tied together and braced by a system of adjustable and portable bracing units along the length of the elongated open ended and open top silage bunker thus formed. The bunker is filled with silage up to a proper level by a mobile loading machine with the formation of the silage bunk progressing rearwardly. As the silage bunk is thus formed, the forwardmost bunker wall sections are shifted to the rear end of the bunker to enable the formation of a uniform depth silage bunk of any desired length. As bunker wall sections are removed, the formed or molded silage bunk is covered and protected by a dark plastic film. A controlled feeding barrier is employed at one or both ends of the silage bunk including side parallel guide units on skids which straddle the opposite sides of the bunk and a transverse feeding gate which slides forwardly on the guide units in response to pressure exerted on the gate by animals feeding on one or both ends of the silage bunk.
