    Can anyone tell me from experience how many tons of peanut hulls they can get on a hopper bottom with 84" sides?
    Are they a pain to get out?
    Any advice or tips?
    Thanks

    I have hauled peanuts in the hull in a 84x102x42. It depends on moisture greatly if really dry 22.5 to 23. If not so dry 25 no problem. Unloading is slow especially at birdsong. But isn't hard they sorta flow on there own

    That I can't answer. I know the Dawson plant is huge and always seem busy. Don't Southern AG run more then peanuts in the hoppers? I live in Valdosta and see them down here
