Subject: RE: New Gooseneck grain trailer


hi Chris: Thank you so much for your input.We agree not everyone can use it but the people we have shown it to have come up with other uses as well. One guy said that he would be able to store feed in it and use it as needed rather than call the bulk truck out all the time for his small feed needs. One guy said there are a lot of weight restrictions on the his bridges causing him to go the LONG way around. One guy mentioned that the big trucks may require the expensive anual license and need to be d.o.t in the very near future(we all know how hugry the d.o.t. is). We got the hint that there may still be a market because the gentleman that we are making one for had an old 300bushel 14000gvw rated trailer for sale and got flooded with calls. We are starting the cost of our 10k dually out at $8700(this is about 2000 cheaper than the only other one out there that is gravity).We are intrducing it at that price(until we figure out how much money we are losing). Is that a price that will still make it appealing for the niche buyers do you think?
Was the reason that the grasshopper and some of the ones in the past quit because the axles were too light?
