Northeast Indiana (Auburn) | One that size will hold around 450 bushels which is about 100 bushels more than you want to haul with a pickup. My father bought a new Schuster tri-axle dump bed in 1974 that was 16' long with 42" sides that would haul 300 bushels. It had 900-14.5 ten ply tires on it. I sold that in 1994 and built what I use now which is a tandem dual (12,000lb each axle) gooseneck with a 16' flat bed that I set a Killbros 450 center dump bed on for hauling grain. The tri-axle with 300 bushels on it pulled harder than the trailer I have now with 350 bushels on it. The dump bed was slow going up and was good for hauling and dumping drive way limestone and the like. I take the hopper bed off and haul a water tank and seed pallets in the spring.
