Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

Air is good, I was thinking of getting a glad hand and installing it on a long enough hose to reach the back of the trailer and getting a wand (a long one) also use it for pumping up a tire because you're obviously driving a 80k lb air compressor

 

Glad you grew your hair back

 

Thought about that myself more than a few times! Or some kind of rig you could swing in after you open the door and dig out the bridged product some. I carry a D handle short shovel in the stowage for digging it out, but it's nasty work at some places laying on the pit!

What I'm planning to do with the trailer is just take a 75' air hose reel (cheap manual type) and hang it in the belly space out of sight. Have that plumbed to a spare air tank running separate of the bags and brakes with a cutoff valve at the reel. Then just quick connect whatever onto it, and store all the tools in the stowage (bunker storage) for now. A 75' hose would reach all the tires from the middle of the trailer (and most of the truck next to you ), and it would be a whole lot easier than the glad hand air line and chuck I carry.

Now, if the places receiving this crap every day would just pony up for an air wand, it'd solve alot of these problems........

 

I wonder if one of those tilling bits that fit a drill would work on that stuff. I mean, the rates would still have to come way up to consider bothering with it again. Or hell, one of those little gas powered tillers to just chew the sides away.

 

Hauling corn to the big river. I like watching the barges come round the bend while I wait.
