Length times width times height = times .8 = 132 bushels shelled corn not ear corn,I think. Gordy in Mn

132 bushels

l x w x h x .8bu/ft^3

5.5ft x 10ft x 3ft x .8bu/ftftft =

Actually, it doesn't matter- he gave three dimensions, and it doesn't matter which is which.

Total average weight should be about 7,392 lbs + weight of trailer. (132bu X 56lbs/but). Make sure your tires are in good shape, that's over 4 ton, assuming the trailer's weight is more than 700 lbs.

I just remember sheled corn is 1 1/4 cu ft per bushel while ear corn is double at 2.5 cu ftt per bushel.
