Subject: RE: Hopper bottoms


+1 We have a fairly new J&M cart with an extended reach auger, and still we have times where the auger spout would have trouble clearing a 72" trailer. Sometimes the road sits higher than the field and reaching across the ditch sometimes the cart tilts slightly to the left, tipping the out end of the auger lower. So it depends on what your situation is. No way would a 72" or higher work for us.

We dont haul to the end uses much, we use our trucks to haul field to bin. We have 34' trailers because we can get around easier, and we can dump both hoppers in a swing auger without moving the truck, saves a lot of getting in and out of the truck at harvest. We can get 80K in them, but are not legal on bridge at that.

It all depends on how you want to use it.
