Do you think the Mac is more round per say than the hybrid in the bottom? Only thing that’s deterring me from the hybrid is the barrel in the bottom doesn’t seem deep enough. I’m nervous about dumping lime with it and having it load to one side like a tub trailer would. And I like that I can get a taller sided Mac. All the hybrids I’ve seen only have 60” sides

The Macsimizer is "rounder" where Genesis is more "oval". We are able to get more volume in the East.
T-800 Thanks this. -
Have you ever dumped lime into fields with either one? Also what is the weight difference on the 36’ tri vs the 40’ tandem on the hybrids?
-
I don't raise them, just fix them. All of our senior driver's didn't want the 34' triaxle (tandem axle with 12k non steerable Hendrickson lift axle) when we got the first two because of the extra weight. They all want to pull the 34' now because of the stability of pulling and dumping them. Currently have 8 of the 34' and nine 39'. They also like the ease of scaling them when the go across state lines. We don't haul much ag lime, but dump them in many places a frameless really shouldn't be dumping including landfills. The tailgates barely clear the ground when you stand them all the way up.

@spsauerland

Tri axle frameless are hard to come buy. Only reason I asked. One other thing since you are chalk full of useful information, do any of your trailers have electric tarps? I’m wanting to put one on if it doesn’t come with one and I don’t know what brands are good or bad for dumps
NightWind Thanks this. -
And is it possible to remove the fenders on the hybrids? Or are they welded on?
