Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

Will it return easily or reduce your down time?

 

Think I've engineered a new shaker system. should be able to get the trailer to just about hop up and down.

Any interest?

 

Wheathauler I had to go back to the old crusher today cuz we went back to SB2 and they had that cheaper. It wasn't too bad tho. I had to adjust the brakes on old bob and 1 of them gave me fits. I finally got the collar down and got it done. I left some knuckle skin under there. These are old style adjusters-I backed em off back 1/2 a turn from snug. I didn't know if that would be enuf but they worked fine. Actually a lot better. The end dump search is intensifying.

 

I got the 2 speeds on my new timpte I would hate to own a new trailer and get into something that needed them to get the door open and couldn't It's also alot easier to get a bottom sample if the plaace requires it and your right dealers just dont stock 2 speeds anymore on the grain spec trailers but the super cubes will almost always have them but I'd say most of them are pretty custom order

wheathauler did you get your trailer from sanders in wichita?

 

Oh yeah I forgot about that in my list of problems.

Yesterday I had to drop the trailer. There's no dedicated crank, just another bolt like the hoppers have. I cranked it down on hi, needed another half inch, put it in low and it didn't want to move. I gave it all i had and the bolt snapped right off.

So now it's sitting there with the legs down and no way to put them back up.

Wallygator says I need a mobil welder. Any other ideas? That's gonna mess me up when I get back there ready to pull.

I'm guessing vice-grips aren't going to hold right?

 

Do you have an air dump on the truck? If so you should be able to dump and lift it, once up vice grips should work to lift.

 

My truck doesn't have that feature. But in this case I don't think it would matter, the trailer is as high as the 5th wheel right now. I can get under it ok, I just can't lift it any higher.

If I can get the legs up, it will probably be some time before I have to worry about it. I drop trailer maybe once every few months for whatever reason comes up.

Eclipse might even pay for it, it's their trailer. But I'm sure they're going to tell me I broke it. I did, but I don't think I did anything unreasonable.
