Subject: RE: Anyone pulling grain trailers with farm tractor?



SW Ontario
We pull a grain trailer with a tractor. A truck dealer built us a tandem converter dolly with a fifth wheel on it. We put a pressure tank on the hitch of that dolley ( approx. 50 gal steel tank) and charge it up with our shop compressor to about 120 psi. We hook that up to the trailer with a parking brake and a hand valve in the cab. One charge of the pressure tank per day gives us enough air for breaking for a whole day. It's cheap, it works and it is a lot safer than no brakes at all!
