    That would keep them from tailgating I'll bet. Texas is about as good as anywhere to haul, I guess

    That could work. I'll have to ponder this awhile, maybe do something after harvest.

    there is a 12 volt hot line that runs to the trailer for the ABS system, if your has ABS. You can tap into that hot line and run lights on the back of the trailer and put a switch somewhere on the trailer.

    the center connector on your pigtail is usually a 12 volt supply line

    Joining the hopper pullers...always room for more. I use Wright Express, Cenex. I'm guessing you will be hauling a lot of beans, once they ripen.

    I was thinking the center connecter was the ABS power.

    same thing. it's just a supply line for 12 volt power. the ABS controller is located in a box near the axles. you can tap into the power to be used for something else like lights.

    I had thought of running a toggle to a regular 4wire trailer pigtail have it right there with the rest of the connectors whats one more little plug-in. since its not my trailer I was going to use the CB anttena mounts for your mirrors...
