    If you pump it off why cant your back suck it back into the trailer? Might be less hassle than dealing with heavy hoses.

    Nightwind, I would try to corner a couple of drivers and see what they say. Like some have posted the hay baler girl might have inflated the numbers. You might have to lift a hose some to get some product out of it in some unusual circumstances but if you are pumping off or back sucking a common practice is to coil the hose (loop) if there is enough and roll it out that way.

    Our PTO pumps only push product 1 way. That would require swapping hoses at the pump in which case a lot of product would run out anyway. Most of the time the pump clears the hoses pretty well after walking them.
