There hasn't been a hoist facility here in many many years. I would be afraid for the yokels that work at our coops to lift a truck. They can hardly man the pit.
I still use a straight truck as a backup. I like the truck and it is handy sometimes when changing fields and you have a little left for one landlord. I have a hoist on it so it isn't a big deal. The coop here has a slow pit so if the hopper bottoms are going I plan on waiting a long time as they can only open them about 1/3 to 1/2 way. The straight truck doesn't matter because it won't overflow the pit.
Straight trucks really hold their value and can be a pain. I would be lost without mine but I would have less maintenance and mechanic work to do. Of course I insist on using a 1958 truck with a 225 bushel box with a 200 bushel hopper combine. The old girl gets a workout if she's in the truck pool. I work her pretty hard and she never fails.
Many neighbors don't have a straight truck anymore. You'd be surprised how many folks call and want my "chick magnet" for a chore around their farm.
