On our Richardton silage wagons their is a mesh screen about 12" wide near the middle of the roof where it hinges.

what in the world are you talking about?

1/4" mesh screen or hardware cloth towards the back sides of your wagon.

I use this 15 cubic foot trailer with plywood sides to make it about 30 cf. It will hold a lot of leaves. I keep a big pile near the garden and the rest I put out on the street and the town vacuums them up and they make compost from the leaves and grass clippings. I put my clippings on the garden and I will spread those leaves over the garden and mulch them with an old
Toro Whirlwind mower, then plow them under next Spring. Hal

That waggon is the same as the one we use lol.What do you have on for a chopper?Looks the same as the 781IH as we use here also.

Same as you except a little older its a 720, we also have the one thats a bit bigger, an 830, i think that one was replaced with an 881 number when CaseIh took over. Good machines but they do have their quirks.

The early silage wagons did not have any roofs, by the time it is moved that far it just drops out of the air current, after the self unloading wagons came out and the first ones of them did not have roofs they put in wire mesh at the sides just under the roof and above where the load would be.

Alot of guys around here who have truck loaders(huge vacumes that blow the leaves into there dump trucks) have plywood sides on there truck dump, and then have a nursery tarp put over the top, held on with bungee cords, That way leaves stay in, but the high amount of air can get out threw the mesh.
I use a vacum system called Trac vac, it works good but once the screen gets plugged with leaves and the air cant get out it stops vacumeing, or picking anything up. This I have on the back of my zero turn rider. Sometimes we have found a rake and tarp to be the fastest way to get leaves on the truck....

They are the same lol.We picked up a 2 row corn head for ours a few years ago off a 720.Have since found out that Horning makes a kernal processor for the 720/781's.They slightly modified the one they make for the 790 NH,just a few bracket changes.

Like JD2ACWD says,my Knight boxes have a board "missing" at the top from about half way on to the rear with hardware cloth over the gap.

The old wagons had the 1/4" mesh at the top of the box in the rear like the others have mentioned. The newer wagons however, don't have that anymore and the wagons load just fine.
