Whats your thoughts on putting two 750 bushel gravity wagon boxes on a drop deck semi trailer? During harvest we only use augers, and the swing away auger works pretty good with our hopper bottom trailers, but I think having a wagon box on a trailer would be better. When I would pull up to the auger i would only need to just pull up and stop. The swing away would reach both wagon doors, and when the wagon boxes were empty the swing away could move out of the way with out moving the truck.

When using a hopper bottom I pull up stop, then move the swing away under the first hopper. When the first hopper is empty I get back in the truck pull it up to the second hopper. When the second hopper is empty I have to get back in the truck and back it up back to the first hopper so i can move the swing away back out from under the truck. Then I get back in the truck and I'm ready to leave.



Single drop or double drop? How many axles does the trailer have? Betting you will be severely overloaded.
