Because the average guy can't comprehend that just because the trailer has a "400 bushel capacity", that doesn't mean you can actually put 400 bushels of whatever you want in it.
There's a big difference between 400 bushels of dry corn and 400 bushels of soybeans or wheat that got harvested at high moisture. 400 bu of corn might weigh 22,500 pounds. 400 bu of wheat that was harvested at high moisture could well weigh a full ton more.
