    I'm leaning towards Hooper right now but maybe down the road getting a dump wagon. With living in Illinois the options for Hooper or dump are endless

    If they are rigged right and used properly a walking floor and a belt are money makers. Only thing I didn't like about a walking floor was the vibration when unloading seems like it may be hard on the truck. Although mine never started rattling from it. The pump drive shafts cause more trouble than any thing with a belt. If they ever run loose your screwed, the shaft ends at the key ways got to stay tight. A tandem pump pto drive would solve that issue but hard to find a tandem pump with flow capabilities to run the belt drive motor. Long as you keep your set screws tight from the start they well.

    I don't see many of those around plus sounds like kind of a pain in the rear. Hooper or dump would be better around here

    Well if you are going to lease on pulling out ADM I would get a hopper for the mill and such and rent an end dump for the rock and asphalt. Are you the buddy of tyler's that's been riding with him ?
