Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

Our farm is about a 50/50 corn/beans rotation every year. There's probably more corn than beans around here, some folks do some continuous corn or 2 years corn, 1 year beans, but 50/50 is pretty common. The way the spring was so wet and late, probably some acres planned for corn got put to beans.

I would much rather haul corn, redeye is annoying but not as bad as dirty, dusty beans. And if beans get even a slight amount of moisture, they can chunk up and plug a gravity unloading spout, or get a bunch of pods bridging over a bin auger. Not to mention you don't have to have as big a pile of corn in the trailer as beans.

 

Mrs bullhaulerswife I hauled whole oats years ago but never oat hulls. I wish the bosses would get 1 of them vacuums. I think I could handle the noise. Most of our bins have power sweeps but a few of the old small ones we still carry augurs in and out of and push them around. I'm lucky cuz I'm most always outside loading the truck. Do yaw'll use them vacuums goin into the bins or just comin out?? We use driveovers and beltaugurs to fill em. Takes bout 30-45 minutes to empty a hopper. My fuel filter seems to have solved my problem. The old 290 ran good today.

 

Rice bridges bad over the bin doors. We end up rodding them or trying to. Not fun. And hybrid rice dust and fines are really bad.

Oh I love the east coast so. Finally got here and somebody forgot to mention the place is appointment only and there's no appointment. Anybody want some steel beams?

 

Rained out early today. Made 4 loads. On the last 1 I blew a tire, truck died dead as a hammer goin down 3 lane thru town nowhere to get off so got stopped in the middle turn lane. Pulled into shop luckily close by 4wheeler. Found fuse that had fallen out. Also noticed at tire shop I had a spring hanger going. Everything fixed but the spring hanger which we'll get Monday after I dump the load. Gotta love this job. It's always fun.
