We have bought and sold and traded trailers for years. Can't beat a Timpte in my book. Go to any farm sale, the Timptes hold their resale better. The longest we have ever kept one was 10 years and never had to weld on them. I have seen several Wilsons break in half. I think Cornhusker makes a pretty good trailer but I don't have any experience with them. I'm sure you will get other opinions. Hope this helps. |

Pulled Tempte for years but the new wilsons look to be just about as good.. Stay away from the single sided trailers, they are lighter but they pull hard with the ruff sides and the resale isn't as good as the double sided.. |

I would say a Timpte is you best choice. Our operation has had 8 different trailers and currently 3 of them and have used them for commercial years back and for farm only for last 12 years and can say have had no problems. I would say a Wilson is also a good trailer. Last trailer got new in March and with current options can get standard 42'6"x66 ag hoppers with all light weight options with alum. wheels down to 7450 lbs and thru this harvest hold together the same as steel parts.

I've got a Wilson that is a 1988 model 43 footer and I've owned it for since 2002 and I've not had any issues with it other than regular maintainence and upkeep. It is use for my farm operation and was pulled commercialy and for farms use before I got it. The only thing I've had to do was replace the tarp once about 10 years ago and the gear tracks on one hopper door which I believe is pretty good record for service. |

Both Timpte and Wilson are good hoppers. I prefer the Wilson Pace setter. Can't beat the ease of opening the hoppers with the belt roller traps on a Wilson. |

very true the resale might not be what the wilsons are. |

Wilson or Timpte are comparable trailers. Either one will be a good choice. Stoughton makes hoppers now, but have not heard any reviews yet. Cornhusker is a good over the road hopper, but don't pull into a field or over uneven ground. Won't get the twist out of it, seen it happen. |

The Dakota trailers look good too and have been seeing more and more all the time. Just don't know about the re-sale value? |

Wilson,Timpte,Corn Husker,Wilson has a nice opening system ,Corn Husker are lighter The steel trailers just don't have as good of resale but still do the job.,We just replaced 2 timpte with new Wilsons[no particular reason except liked unloading] and their resale is excellent partly due to price increase in new ones.We take excellent care of ours and they brought near what we paid for them 10 years ago. |
