The pitch of the slope and the smaller doors can cause issues along with weather conditions and the product itself. I have loads slide right out and I have had a load that took 5 1/2 hours to unload while having to push product from the top of the load. Also, I have noticed that I have more issues with Poet DDG than others. I have 4ft doors and vibrators and DDG loaded hot will tend to hang up.
