Any body haul gypsum in hopper bottom? We have done Ddg's, fish meal loads before and understand that it takes a little work and a good vibrator or two. Just looking to see if gypsum is about the same or if we need to use the belt trailers? Thanks!

My one experiance with it was ok, but it required a lot of sweeping to get it all out. I wind rowed it out in a farm field. Did the rest of the loads with a clamshell belly dump. That worked much better. |

The gypsum I haul in end dumps would never come out of one of my hoppers |

I hauled 4-5 loads last year. It wasn’t bad wind rowing just comes out slow. Need a good vibrator. My personal opinion a load here and there or a back haul every once in a while is doable. But I don’t think I’d want to haul it consistently in an aluminum hopper.

Me and a buddy hauled it and we won’t haul it ever again. Took 10 hrs to unload 2 hoppers. Had a suction vibrator and were hitting the brakes . Nothing...... had to shovel it out.

It depends on the gypsum. We put granular gypsum on our hoppers and it comes out no problem.

Hauled it and a guy said to put a couple of 2 foot 4x4 on the doors tried that it worked good at least started it to flow it is about like hauling pea flour both pack tight. If it wasn’t for the lumber in the bottom it would not have started flowing ag hopper timpte worked but I would use a live bottom next time |

No way. Our gyp around here is like wet beach sand. Would be ugly in a hopper.
