I know some guys won't agree with me, but here goes anyway.
A C-600 carries a GVW of 25999, or 1# under the 26000 cut-off for a class B lic, so a C-700 should have a GVW around 30,000.
With an 18 ft box & 3 stage hoist, the empty wgt will come in around 12000. So if the 24000 GVW is true, payload will be around 12000. Corn runs around 56#/bushel, so 12000 would be about 215 bushel, or 267 cubic feet. 8 ft wide by 18 ft long leaves 1.8 ft deep.
500 bushel corn at 56 per makes 28000, plus about 12000 empty puts you at 40000, way over the 24000 rating.
Of course, if that stated 24000 GVW rating is in error, disreguard most of what I said.
