| Lots of options to choose from. Belt trailer, chain floor, and dump. Lots of advantages and disadvanages to each.
Belt trailer. Popular brands are Trinity, Aulick, Red River.
Need at least a 42" belt to unload corn or sorghum silage very well. The Aulick with the 54" belt nice. Trinity now makes a silage special belt trailer, 63" belt I do believe. Haven't been close to one running, know a couple of guys that have tryed them out. Aulicks and Red River are lead sleds. Can haul the tons, but they are heavy. Regular Trinity are pretty light and hold up very well, very good design. Silage Trinitys are heavy. Unload times run between 3 and 10 min. depending on hydrualic pump setups, how good the driver is, and crop. Corn will unload faster than sorghum which is faster haylage etc. Belt trailer are verstile. Able to haul grain, chicken litter etc.

Chain floor. Hitchcock, Aeroswint, plus several other makes out there. Pretty straight forward. Almost all have good capacity and are fast.
Not as verstile as the belt trailer. Would work good for chicken litter, manure. Still a lead sled. Artex is also one to look at. HUGE capicity. Better have a tough truck to pull one.

Dump trailers. Aeroswint and Hitchcock here again. Not always as much capacity as a belt trailer or chain floor, but they can be when set up correctly. More verstile than the chain floor. Can haul grain, fert. manure etc. Fast in the pit, but a good fast chain floor will still beat them.
