I bought a 42x74x96 hopper with 29x30 doors with ag hoppers for a job that is not working out.Any thought on hauling feed ingredients over the road with this trailer.My last trailer had 36x36 doors and was 43x78x102 most of the time i never came close to filling it . My main concern is the size of the doors.

I remember it came out pretty good, and that says alot with a brand new trailer where grain and such hasn't smoothed the sides yet. I did push down with a broom on the ends and run the vibrators. But generally not too bad. I wouldn't be afraid of it again.
