Belt Trailer vs Walking Floor
Working towards adding another trailer to our operation. Currenlty have a couple belt trailers, hauling Wet Distillers with one and then dry feed ingrediants on the other. Including soyhull pellets, loose hulls, ddg, wheat midds etc. Also backhaul a little grain once in awhile if it is handy, but not work that I specificaly look for. Can't haul enough to compete with the hoppers. Have been researching Walking Floor trailers. Would value some opinions between the two styles of trailer. The Walking Floor trailers I have inquired on have been slightly lighter than the Belt so that would be good.
I understand the Belt is going to unload somewhat faster. But a couple Floors I have watched unload were really not that much longer. Also had chaser tarps so they cleaned out much better than I expected. They were Wilkins Trailers. What about maintenance issues Belt vs Floor? Chain and sprockets are high wear points on the Belt. What are the wear points on the Floor.
Appreciate the input.
