    You're welcome, and holler any time I can help. I really wasn't trying to discourage ya lol although it probably looked that way. One thing is for sure, as long as farmers plant crops, somebody's gonna get paid to move it...

    One good thing about buying a hopper trailer, you can always get rid of it for good money.

    We were shopping around for a good used Timpte last Spring. Prices for good used ones were really not that much lower than new trailers at that time. We ended up just buying a new one and had it picked up at the plant in Nebraska.

    I saw a used Wilson sitting off 36 in Mo a couple months ago. It didn't look beat up or anything but I found it suspicious that they had spray painted FOR SALE right on the side of it. Might be a deal for someone willing to spend the time scraping the paint off.
