Ag hopper vs. Standard hopper

Feb 05, 2018 at 02:42 PM CST - 1
Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member.	Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member. Has anyone had experience of loading grain out of the field in a standard clearance hopper? Did you have any trouble bottoming out on any terrces or getting in and out of the pasture? I'm trying to decide whether or not I need to purchase an ag hopper or standard hopper, I'll be loading out of the field during harvest season, other than that I'll just be running the road.

If you think you will only be dumping in to elevator pits and not swing or jump augars on farms, fertilizer and seed plants wouldn't worry about a ag hopper, but if your in an ag area might want to think about resale when you go to trade or sell farmers want ag hoppers.
