I used to haul hominy in a 72x96x48 Timpte with big hoppers and 28 ton was about the max. I would say you would be around that 20 to 22 ton range. It was always a good load with great pay and unloaded nicely.

20 - 22 T, must warn you that depending on the consistency of the hominy and the weather it can either drop easy or may take up to four hours to get out. If you are dropping on a pit it usually comes right out. If you are dropping on a farm auger then it will stick and take a lot longer. This load is better suited for belts and end dumps. Just letting you know in advance. We only use our hoppers for hominy and ddg in cooler weather, then all is ok. Other then that leave it for the belts and end dumps.
