I used only gravity wagons for the first few years hauling 5 to 10 miles to town, and still use them some. With 50 acres of corn or beans you'd be alright depending on your schedule. If you have the time and vacation days for harvest then you'd be alright, but if you are working 12 hour shifts full time then you'd want an older grain truck. I pulled only 1 behind a pickup, but I pull 2 or even 3 behind a tractor although I think 2 is a much safer setup. The biggest thing is to make sure they track well, I wouldn't buy at auction, buy from a retired farmer if possible and make sure you pull them around a little before you buy to see if they'll run down the road without swaying too bad.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
