Pickup Box Trailer Turned Into Rolling Grain Bin

Pickup Box Trailer Turned Into Rolling Grain Bin PICKUPS Modifications 28-3-33 "I found a new use for the long time best friend of many a small farmer - the pickup box trailer," says Joe Jessop, Ray, Minn., who converted a pickup trailer with topper into a rolling grain bin. "I bought the pickup trailer at an auction for $100 and it was already road ready," says Jessop. "I cut a hole in the fiberglass topper and inserted a five gallon bucket with the bottom cut off to use as a fill-spout. Roofing tar around the bucket weatherproofs it and the lid still goes on to seal it," he says. "I cut a piece of plywood to go just inside the tailgate to stop any feed from sifting out the bottom of the tailgate. I scoop feed out through the sliding glass windows in the front or rear of the topper. "The trailer is easily filled through the bucket fill-spout. I can take the trailer anywhere without worrying about the weather," says Jessop. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Joe Jessop, 4647 Hwy 53, Ray, Minn. 56669
