Since its harvest time and we are hauling our summer's labor,Lets see the mode of transport.....The blue '68 I've owned since '80,my wife and I met because of that truck(thats a story for another time).The red '66 I sold about 3 years ago.

Love old grain trucks, so many of them with low hours, miles etc., only examples left of models long rusted away or worn out.

My '64 F600 14' Obeco body

'74 Mack DM 20' sileage body - I drove for a long time farmer and friend with a frozen load of sawdust on a bitter cold 0-10 deg F morning, at a 1500+ head dairy north of here. Mental Note: never leave sawdust on overnight ! Lol! 2 hrs to chop it out with a grain shovel.

Pair-a-dice farm · Oct 14, 2013

It started out as a rice hauler in eastern Arkansas. I bought it in 2003 and modified the tail gate to haul chicken litter and gravel. Since I've sold the chicken farm it's been mostly a feed truck. The hood is off of an early 90's but the truck is an 82 model

Here is ours, 04 Kenworth with a 42 foot Wilson hopper bottom trailer

Bryce Frazier · Oct 14, 2013

Well, I don't have a picture of it, but I used to have a pretty awesome JD tractor and grain trailer. Only problem was when ever I filled the trailer up I wasn't strong enough to pedal the tractor. hehehe

It's kind of hidden here, but you get the idea.

Mike (WA) · Oct 14, 2013

Super Trucker · Oct 14, 2013

Here's what we use. We run 3 to 4 of them depending on need. Able to haul about 1700-1800 bu depending on test weight.

Texasmark1 · Oct 14, 2013

Isn't turning hard on those mid mounted tires? Where are you that you need that much rubber on the ground?

Thanks,
Mark

Texasmark1 · Oct 14, 2013

I had one of those. Loved the cab over but made a mess when you had to service the engine.

Mark

Texasmark1 · Oct 14, 2013

I had a Big Cam 400 in my rock bucket I ran for a couple of years after I retired. Was in an International cab over. Tough engine.

I wish they would let us post pictures from our iPhones! I've got a picture of my 1958 GMC as I was heading out in the snow to get a round bale. You know how well grain trucks do in the mud and snow. Pig on ice comes to mind. It is a last resort as soon as the weather gets nasty, that's for sure.

Mine is sitting in the shed today. It's raining here - no beans will be cut.

Wheat Farmer · Oct 14, 2013

Still have both, but not much hauling anymore. Both came from the Family Wheat Farm in NE. 1963 C60,and 1974 F600. Photos about a year old. Yes they are better shape than I.

Bob Bancroft · Oct 14, 2013

Probably steerable.
North of the border?

JayinNY · Oct 14, 2013

I can't respond to everyone's pics, but I just wanted to say this was a great topic, everyone has great looking trucks! Thanks for posting. I know this is a small truck, and it's not a grain truck, but it's hauled and dumped many tons of mulch, topsoil, stone and bales of hay. Just thought I share a 25 year young Chevy!

Super Trucker · Oct 14, 2013

Michigan. The first 3 axles are lifts so you can go around a corner. IT ONLY TAKES ONE TIME to forget to lift them! Most of our northern mi farmers use trains with a gross weight of 164,000lbs and over 2000 bu

Kerry50 · Oct 14, 2013

'67 C-50, 65,000 miles. Combining fescue seed this summer.

Old weldor · Oct 14, 2013

Here in central iowa I hardly see any straight trucks or tractors pulling gravity box wagons. Most of these farmers have semis. I don't know how they justify owning them when they are used so little. I love seeing the older straight trucks.

Matt L · Oct 15, 2013

Here's my '55 r160

wijim · Oct 15, 2013
