Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

I walked my tarp after shaking it down, really helps walking it to knock the product down into the trailer. My shin is still all scuffed and bruised from where I bonked it climbing up there. I was 77K, I really thought it would be more this time as I had her piled way high.

Monday, I get to visit the tag office. WhooHoo $1700-$1800 here in Ks if I remember correctly. What do you guys in other states pay?

I've been trying to size up the trailer I'm looking for - what size are you running right now? What would you change? Thinking about trying to find an 84" sidewall instead of going 102" wide - even though my tractor seems to be 102" (less wind resistance I hope). I figure the bigger the better, I never know what I'll haul next.

A 42x96x78 seemed to be good for everything but cotton seeds - and I couldn't stand hauling those anyway - like trying to jam cotton balls through a funnel.

 

up here we still have some old elev. that are only 12ft 3in clearance,so 84jn sides with 24.5 tires and bows for tarp iffy for cleance!

 

I'm glad I don't haul anything that needs a big trailer, I like our little ones. I have hauled bean meal, and got a full load, but it's piled up pretty good. We like our Wilsons just fine, never had any problems. I don't know about lift axles and doubles, never been around exotic stuff like that.

We had a little snow early Sunday, then changed to rain most of the day, then changed back to snow last night. Ended up with about 3 inches of crusty wet snow. I think the roads are going to be ok pretty soon, just waiting a little bit to let elevator get their scales and parking lots cleared off.
