[AT] Enormous grain wagon

Sun Jun 7 14:35:11 PDT 2020

I have what is left of an old David Bradley running gear with grain sides. The gear needs a little TLC, the metal gain side just need paint, but the wood deck needs to be completely replaced (just enough of it left to use as a pattern). It was my great uncle’s. My dad’s cousin had the same gear but with hyd hoist (I now have the hoist).

And if I am not mistaken, we used to haul 100 - 120 bushels in the old wagons---and shovel it all by hand. I recall that a couple of my grandfather's wagons still had old auto wooden-spoked wheels, and the sideboards were what - maybe a foot high? As us kids left the farm, they finally got a gravity feed wagon.

Assuming 60 lb per bushel (corn is upper 50's, wheat/beans around 62), that would be 132,000lbs. factor in high moisture and the weight of a tractor big enough to move something twice the size of what a semi can haul and that is a ridiculous amount of weight. Watch some online videos of how fast those guys drive, its insane.

In my home area in NW Iowa there is Manufacturer by the name of Demco.  Here is one of their latest protypes. See attached.   2200 bushel capacity.    Is your farm big enough for this? Cheaper by the dozen.
