I was up to 8 junker wagons that held 180 to 250 bushel. I'm now selling them off. It gets old dealing with tires and hubs on that many wagons. It's better to pull one 350 bushel box versus 2 180 bushel boxes - half the hubs, half the tires, you can see all the hubs and tires from the cab, easier to back up I've been buying 300-350 bushel Parker boxes on Heider, Westendorf, or John Deere running gears. I avoid New Holland, Dakon (New Idea), Gehl, and Parker (see a LOT of Parkers with broken spindles) running gears. J&M makes a nice box, too. I think Bushnell, M&W, Dakon, and Killbros boxes are a little light and tend to have repairs done or needed to be done.

If you're gonna pull it with an IH tractor, you better find one with brakes, though.

Don't buy a grain truck unless you're gonna spend big money for a newer one with air brakes. Those old junkers are one broken brake line away from being on their side at the bottom of the hill. They're typically expensive to pass inspection, they have man-killer split rims, and they're not fun to drive loaded

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
