Cottonseed does not flow out of a hopper without some real work. It will take more than a vibrator and mallet. I have an 80 yard belt trailer and it's completely full with 23+/- tons. The same trailer has plenty of space with DDG and even a little room for more with soy hulls, just to give you an idea.
