Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member.	Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member. just wondering if a load of urea would sort of set up if you hauled it in damp weather and if it would be hard to get out of the trailer? I have hauled fertilizer in the winter when its damp out and have had trouble getting the hopper doors open before and had trouble with it not wanting to slide out. I will be hauling the urea 400-500 mile in the rain it looks like. just wondering what i am in for?

Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member.	Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member. DEPENDING ON THE GRADE OF THE UREA IT CAN WEIGH ANYWHERE FROM 45-52 LBS PER CUBIC FOOT. THAT IS WHAT WE USED FOR A GUIDELINE TO CALIBRATE THE OLD DRY SPREADERS BACK WHEN DINOSAURS ROAMED THE EARTH. 46-0-0 WAS AROUND 47 OR 48 LBS PER CU FT AND 49-0-0 WAS CLOSE TO 50 LBS. THE COARSER THE GRIND THE LIGHTER THE PRODUCT THE FINER THE GRIND THE HEAVIER THE PRODUCT. HOPEFULLY MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT AND DOESN'T MISLEAD YOU TOO FAR
