| I've seen a few pictures of this. Often it's on level ground it seems. Are they all severely overloaded? Do some buckle when they're not overloaded just due to old age and metal fatigue?
I've had a truck driver with a long triple axle trailer designed for sunflowers brag to me that he had 1,700 bushels of corn on his trailer before and it still wasn't full which makes me think that they must be built pretty tough in general.
My trailer is a 42' aluminum Merritt tandem axle trailer, something like a 1996 model? Just wondering what my risk factors are.
Sometimes I get pretty heavy going short distances on dirt roads. I've had 1200+ on it a few times and I'm wondering how much I'm pushing my luck.

What causes a grain trailer to buckle?
