could you put something like that 500 bu single pit but with a corner auger coming out of it and place it behind your current dump so you can unload both hoppers at once. Have the back pit auger not start until you are done with the front hopper where you hit a button to start it as you are driving away and a pressure switch or amp monitor that will shut it down when empty? Basically the corner auger from the pit dumps into your drag trough after you are not dumping into it directly. With a new leg, you could also design it to handle both simultaneously, but no matter how fast of leg you have it still could be faster to feed it at capacity one at a time and have the pit empty while you are not there.

I assume you have the trailer in there pretty straight to dump the front hopper currently so it would not affect room needed for the drive to add the second pit under the rear hopper when the trailer is setting there square anyway? I may have front and back reversed because you may dump opposite of what your truck is in the pics. Weigh full, then slide forwards to dump, use known empty weight?
