    East is heavier but better built imo so it’s all what you want.Now I will say I pulled a Mac running ash into the landfills and never had a problem but I always felt like the East genesis was more stable.

    I should add that mine was a full frame. I'm sure I would've been much lighter had it been frameless.

    I’ll almost always have a good base to dump from for grain and fertilizer but lime, ........probably not. Most of the lime will be fumed at field edges, so anywhere from 2 loads 20 loads can be at a site. Alot of this hauling will be for myself, as I farm and try lime at least 750 acres a year at 2 ton per acre.

    Seen alot of nice trailers, that are in my budget and what I’m looking for but but don’t have the grain gate(small door) on the tailgate. I put alot of corn, soybeans and rice in my bins, so it’s a must to have when dumping into an auger.

    Off topic abit but what’d you put over them stacks when you weren’t running, if it was raining? I’ve tried 5 gallon buckets but they got a tendency to scratch if it’s windy and rainy.

    I didn’t put anything over them. I’ve seen people use buckets like you said, that’s all my Grandfather used was a 5 gallon pail.

    I think I might try to find a 3 gallon rubber bucket. Think I seen some like that at the local feed store.
