The lighter the better. Your heavy frames wouldn't work to well pulling hoppers. My truck and trailer weigh around 26,700 with half tank of fuel.

Hauling the heck out of milo today. A number of trucks joined in on the fun also... the elevator must have a lot of milo to haul.
In another week the milo should be all cut. They were cutting a lot today. Harvest is beginning to wind down. -
My truck and trailer is 46,865 with 1/2 fuel
Guess I would not do well with a hopper -
Uh....No. That's a heavy unit!

I thought you pulled OD or heavy loads. I don't blame you I wouldn't back that up either.
RAG Thanks this. -
How's the corn harvest going RW?
-
One thing I've noticed lately and haven't figured out, seems like the test weight on the corn isn't too great. Been having to put a lot of corn in the trailer just to get to 80,000. Haven't seen any samples with test weights higher than 56.8. This is dry corn out of the elevator, mind you. Usually 57 or 58 is common, 59 or 60 isn't unheard of either. Don't know why unless its something to do with the corn not drying down much in the field. Maybe I should have payed more attention in agronomy class. -
Dairyman the water is coming down slowly. We're hunting and picking places to cut. We made a major goof yesterday and loaded rice on top of a partial hopper of beans. In the morning I'm hauling it to the seed plant to get them separated. We'll see how that goes.
dairyman Thanks this. -
