NY 986,even 20 yrs ago we figured out that a Used OTR Semi and a used Grain trailer was a boat load cheaper than buying a New tandem axle Chevy C-65 or C-70, BB 366 w/ 5 & 2 and a 22 ft Midwest bed with 18 inch hi-risers, W/ Dual 10 ton hoist. Depending on the Tractor, $20K would put you in a pretty nice rig. Haul somewhere in the 1000 bu range. We found that our 38 ft Tempte was equal to 2 tandems! we had 2 Chevy tandems like I described above the addition of the semi basically gave gave us 4 trucks while only adding 1 more truck to tag and upkeep! $8 to $12 K for the tractor 8 to 12 for a trailer. Our Semi became a necessary evil of our place, used it pretty regular hauling grain during harvest, jockey cattle around onto wheat pasture. Catch a load here and there for a neighbor As we move up from 24 ft head to 30 on the combine The Semi bought us a lot of breathing room as far a getting the next truck in the field to the Elevator Especially when you have about a 20 mile haul 1-way to the elevator. If you could find a good Chevy C-65, C-70, 366/427 with either a 13 speed, 5 & 4, or the old 5 & 2 set up as a tractor that would get the job done with Medium Duty and minimal $ spent. Hope this helps/ Later, John A.
