Demco Steel Grain Trailers
There aren’t too many options for hauling grain. Option one is a wagon, which is a popular choice if where you need to haul to is close by. If it’s not, this method can be both inefficient and dangerous. Option two is to hire someone to haul your grain for you. However, this doesn’t always pencil financially and also puts you at the mercy of someone else’s schedule. Option three is to add a grain trailer to your arsenal. If option three is something you are considering, but traditionally cost or size has held you back, Demco steel grain trailers are an economical and reliable hopper bottom option to check out.
Demco and quality are two words that often go together. If Demco’s the manufacturer, we know that it will be built well and built to last. Demco’s steel grain trailers are constructed with heavy-duty, 14-gauge steel. The trailers have 66” side walls, ensuring visibility into the hopper from the combine. The sides also have inverted horizontal ribs, reducing air drag and fuel costs. Trailer lengths range from 24’ to 42’ with capacities varying from 740 bushels to 1135 bushels. Their most popular models are the 38’, 40’ and 24’, respectively.

We’ll be the first to admit, hopper bottoms aren’t a traditional equipment line for us. However, when the first Demco grain trailer showed up on our lot last fall, there was more interest in the size and price point than expected. Although not a fit for every operation, the Demco grain trailers seem to be a viable option for growers who have been on the fence to make the switch to hopper bottoms. If you are looking for a quality grain trailer at a reasonable price point, we have a Demco grain trailer on the lot if you want to check it out in person.
