I did some more work on my Pete grain truck. I am waiting on decals and I need to make a chassis for the pup trailer. I also need to paint the second tarp. I put on new stacks and bumper as well as put together a dolly kit. I recommend them. They are worth the money. Tell me what ya think. I will get this truck done in a few weeks because Im goin back up to College.    |

Looks really nice. I have one of those in the works as well. I need another truck for my silage crew. So I am going to make one. I am still trying to decide whether to build a bed or use an ertl grain trailer bed. I have used them on three other trucks in the past and they work good.

How do you dump if the dolly hitch tounge is in the way? Some guys dump right over the hitch. Most elevators wont let you do that cause then you get all the road dirt and grease on the crop. Other guys jackknife the rear trailer getting the dolly out of the way and dump. And still other guys will unload the rear trailer, chock the wheels then unhook and then unload the front box. This setup isnt very common as it is a pain in the rear end. Most guys have a pup trailer that is a hopper. |
