EC Nebraska | We have a 48' spread axle set up to feed the planter and sprayer. It is not a drop deck, wish it was. We have a 3000 gal tank at the front for water and a 2600 gal tank over the rears for fertilizer. Chemicals set inbetween the two tanks and there is enough room behind the rear tank for a four wheeler to sit. I realize that this is not at all the set up you are looking for, but there is a reason I am telling you this. When you set that big tank up on top of the fifth wheel it gets tipsy at times. More especially if you are backing into a driveway or around an intersection on a road. Feels like the whole thing is going over if you hit the brakes too hard when you are cocked. A drop deck may not be as bad with the rest of the trailer lower to the ground. If you think about it though, we are carrying as much liquid as a tanker, but without the full baffels. Just something to keep in the back of your head when you are driving it, especially with a half full tank. A few years (4 or 5) ago the '97 Wilson Alumn flatbed was around 7k. I don't know about the price of a drop deck. I know you used to be able to figure about a buck a gallon for the big tank. | |
