| BobNESD - 12/18/2025 16:17 I know there are places you can still see gravity wagons being used, 15+ years ago we lived down in SE SD by Beresford for a while, and it was quite common then yet to see some big wagons, and in NW Iowa. Maybe a lot of them went away by now, but that’s what I’m asking I guess.
Big wagons are pretty common around here.
Pairs of either 650’s or 750’s (1200-1500 bushels on a trip) behind large mfwd tractors. Lots of the tractors are capable of 30 mph.
Depending on hauling distance it can be a decent option even though it is something I have zero interest in doing.
Seeing a SA straight truck hauling grain is very rare. Even tandem axle straight trucks aren’t real common for grain hauling around here, most guys went from little wagons to big wagons or straight to semis. |
Single axel grain truck still used?
