Aero Vs Long hood for dry bulk and good MPG

Where is my hip waders?

 

I’d check into Dahlsten or J Unruh in you’re in KS.

 

Unruh was 75% when I was there. Blower and PTO installed at no cost. Food grade salt, feed salt, and calcium powder. Office, shop, and washout is in Garden City.

 

I’m not a good person to ask. I basically worked 7 days a week because I was cash flowing a house project. I’d run exempt feed salt loads to get a 34 hour restart in. I don’t know what guys were bringing in that were off on the weekends.

Dahlsten has a shop in Hutchinson and they do a lot of food grade. Their rates should be pretty decent. They’ve had a lot of the same guys leased there for a long time.

 

The free blower and pto alone would be worth it

 

Pulling a pneumatic, aero or hood isn’t going to really be that much of a difference. Between the trailer dragging wind, your PTO run time and the weights you’re pulling when loaded, it’s not going to matter in the grand scheme of things. What will count is your tractor weight. Especially if you’re wanting to drag one of Oakley’s big 4 pots, as those trailers are pushing 12000 pounds give or take a few hundred. W9s tend to be heavier than most others, but I see more than a few hooked to Oakley’s equipment.
