Hopper bottom work, worth getting into?

Hauling meal can be tricky. In the cold it can hang up, and in the summer it can bind up and get tacky with the humidity. I would say a vibrator would almost be a necessity with hauling bakery meal. I mean obviously guys used to do it back in the day without, but if you have the option, I’d do it. There’s certain tricks I’ve heard of, but have never done. There’s food grade wax I think you can coat your hopper with. I’ve heard of guys throwing in a couple 2 or 3 basketballs and then loading, just so stuff’s not going down the road compacting against the trap. Bakery meal I don’t think I’ve hauled but I’ve hauled bakery waste in an end dump and we would have to load it on plastic to even think about it coming out. @Long FLD has hopper experience, he can hopefully see this and share some insight. Best of luck!
