Mine now falls in the second category after hauling lime. The ones that have been turned over, and the ones that haven't been turned over YET. In our area, there seems to be only two types of dumps. Posted 14:01 (#5594535 - in reply to #5594519) Subject: RE: best end dump for farm use? Will.add a long trailer is easier to back than a short one Mainly use the East for lime & and aggrates and as a backup during harvest.
Have since bought swing augers and gone to hopper bottoms. It was our first semi trailer and the time only had std augers. Posted 13:34 (#5594519 - in reply to #5593988) Subject: RE: best end dump for farm use? Remember most used dumps need suspension and cylinder work this can add up fast.
I prefer frame type and aluminum frame over steel frame but can be tough to find. I would think a 28 foot maybe could hold 700 -750 tops unless u had 60 + test weight. I had a 24 foot that would hold 600 bushel chuck full.

We do not have to have every corner full to do this. I have 2 39 foot Hill aluminum frame type trailers. Posted 12:07 (#5594412 - in reply to #5593988) Subject: RE: best end dump for farm use? I assume that would be even more concerning with a frameless.

With several drivers in our crew with varying amounts of experience not all them are comfortable with dumping it when the wind gets to gusting. Not enough weight on the semi tandems for optimum traction. that extra 3 foot of frame made a good place to put the oil reservoir but its a pain when conditions are a little soft. I'm no expert but I have a frame type thats got a 33' tub on a 36' frame.

If you are hauling dense stuff like lime, and/or dumping in fields, 30 ft. Unless you're never hauling anything but lime, you'll want something longer than a 30 ft. Clear full of good heavy grain usually still not quite 80,000 lbs. Posted 08:09 (#5594119 - in reply to #5594113) Subject: RE: best end dump for farm use? We have a 39ft on a 230 wheel base semi and can legally be at 80,000. It depends where you are from and the bridge laws and such. Posted 08:04 (#5594113 - in reply to #5594101) Subject: RE: best end dump for farm use? MAC and Ravens prolly the best resale and most expensive. Any of those are top of the line trailers. I wouldn't own a trailer shorter than 30'. Posted 07:54 (#5594101 - in reply to #5594034) Subject: RE: best end dump for farm use? The only reason to go longer is if your state has bridge laws that would cause problems for you. The shorter end dumps (30'and less ) are great for around the farm. I have a few straight tri-axle trucks with cheaper beds (J&J, City, ect. I two dumps: 1973 East 30' steel frame (holds 800 bushel ) and 2012 East 34' aluminum frame (holds 900+ bushel ). Posted 07:18 (#5594034 - in reply to #5593988) Subject: RE: best end dump for farm use? Hopper bottom will hold more with the laws in my area, but from field to bin would be nice to have a 34' with high sides. I raise a little over half way up and all of the above materials run out. With a liner you can not haul big rebar/concrete or scrap metal. Posted 07:18 (#5594032 - in reply to #5593988) Subject: RE: best end dump for farm use?Ī liner works best for ease of dumping. I really like the idea of an end dump, just get one that is long enough to load with grain. It is about 6-8 feet too short but it replaced an old 10 wheeler nicely. We pondered this at great length and ended up with a 24 foot full frame Travis. Posted 07:03 (#5594001 - in reply to #5593988) Subject: RE: best end dump for farm use? What style end dump would be best? What brand would be best? What length would be best? Trailer would be used to haul rock, grain, and possibly wet distillers feed. I have been looking for a while for a good 10 wheeler but I'm starting to think maybe an end dump might be better money spent since I already own 2 semi tractors.
