AMF has given us some great Wisconsin history of corn harvesting. This piqued my curiosity and since I grew up with Papec my search brought me that direction.

I call bs on that,. First you couldn't get a horse in a silo door and that would be about a most cruel thing you could do, must have beat his kids too.

FIL had a Papec. He ran an IH binder and hired kids to pick up the bundles. An older neighbor would be the inside man in a rainsuit.

I believe someone on this site posted about using mules to pack silage. I think they lifted the mule out with a sling though.
