Subject: RE: Grain Truck



Geuda Springs, Kansas
I was shopping for a tandem this past summer. I was driving our 76 chevy Tandem when it caught on fire this summer during wheat harvest. We needed a truck that we could mount our drill fill auger on the back to plant wheat with in the fall. I decided I wanted a big tandem that could pull a pup trailer so we could have more truck capacity during harvest and it can have more of a purpose. I found smaller tandems that were reasonably priced from 25,000 to 35,000. However when I got to the big trucks with a lot of horse power it was 50,000 to 75,0000. We ended up buying a 300 strobel seed tender instead and just hauling with our two semis. We decided if we needed more capacity in the future we would buy another semi for a lot less than what a tandem and pup would cost. I would seriously think about a small semi though. They are cheaper, easier to get around in and comfortable.

Good Luck
