Central Minnesota
I'd put that gate at a minimum of 70 feet from the edge of the tar road. 70 feet should cover a 260"wb conventional truck with a 48-52' trailer. I don't think 50' is gonna cover much, and i'd want to be completely off the tar road to stop and get out to open the gate. Grain trailer might be 42', but your crank for your tarp adds another 1' out the back, along with catwalk.
