Every chopper has spots were some material is lost. Ultimately they are moving tons and tons of material at a fast pace. These 28 ton forage boxes are filled in about 5 minutes. That’s allot of volume through the harvester. Combines lose about 2% of the grain out the back. On a chopper loss is very visible but I would even think it amounts to 0.1% of the entire field.

If there's another tractor waiting on the other side, there isn't a point in trying to fill the wagons all the way up and have to slow down or stop to switch to the next one.

@@allenwray6595 Been there, done that. They can and will get stuck, especially when there's 28 tons of silage behind them. Those tractors will take 2 or 3 days to burn the amount of fuel hauling 1/2 and 3/4 loads as the 850hp V12 in that cutter will in a day. Not mention, getting one out when it's stuck means even more downtime, risk of breaking something pulling it out, and the possibility of the cutter stopping. Every silage crew I've ever been around focused on keeping the cutter running as much as possible.
