It's been a while since I pulled a hopper, but it seems like Cornhusker made the lightest. Wilson and Timpte are very similar. How a trailer is specced out has everything to do with it's weight. |

I'm a firm believer in timpte. But how it's speckked determine s weight. I just bought a new 2023 timpte Hopper 40x96x78. It has an aluminum subframe, weighs about 7500 lbs. |

We have bothe Timpte & Wilson, Timpte is lighter by a couuple hundred pounds & the Wilson is more robust. If you get the aluminum frame & coupler for weight savings you will be fine either way, bothe are great trailers. |

I've heard that the EBY hopper trailers are the best. They just started building them a couple years ago and the design is great. A friend of mine is going to be buying them instead of Timpte. |

Cornhusker used to be the lightest . They keep redesigning and adding weight , timpte and Wilson have caught up to them. I pull triples and there may be 200 lbs difference in all 3 makes. Buy from the guys that honor their quote and deliver on time !!!
