I used only gravity wagons for the first few years hauling 5 to 10 miles to town, and still use them some. With 50 acres of corn or beans you'd be alright depending on your schedule. If you have the time and vacation days for harvest then you'd be alright, but if you are working 12 hour shifts full time then you'd want an older grain truck. I pulled only 1 behind a pickup, but I pull 2 or even 3 behind a tractor although I think 2 is a much safer setup. The biggest thing is to make sure they track well, I wouldn't buy at auction, buy from a retired farmer if possible and make sure you pull them around a little before you buy to see if they'll run down the road without swaying too bad. The wagon gear is the most important thing. I went through the wheel bearings and found heavy rated newer pickup tires for mine, hauling 100 to 150 bushels each. Newer pickup tires meaning used without much tread left but still much newer tires than the old implement tires that came with them. I hang an orange flag on the second wagon so I could see it in my tractor mirrors going down the road, and didn't get in too big of a hurry and plenty of stopping distance.

For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want � unless you own a monster tractor. U
