Around here, big gravity boxes being pulled by large tractors were the in thing 20 years ago. Then no-till hit; people didn't need those big tractors for tillage anymore, and the trucks started seeing a comeback.
Was with a friend of mine at a farm show; he was looking at a big gooseneck trailer to hook onto his pickup to haul roundbales with. I made the observation that rather than spend 36k for the trailer (new ones are all he can find) to hook it up behind his 55k pickup (which, by the way, will be incredibly overloaded on the brakes, tires, and drivetrain) he could probably pick up an old cabover tractor and flatbed for less than 10k and be able to haul his bales more efficiently and safely.
I'm not saying everyone needs to go out and buy a semi, but I think there's a lot of utility to buying a cheap, retired over the road tractor, even for a small operator. Heck, just think of all the antique tractors you could haul with the thing.
