4x8 steel plates...

1/4" checker plate?

Or...Perhaps some 3/4" plate like you can find all over the place covering excavations in streets?

Morning Mikey, on your way to work.

Hope you have a good supply of wood. Weather next four days looks to be extremely cold with rain and snow. Yikes!

14 gauge tread plate is what I see on most beds. Assuming Hedge's bed is 20'x8':
- 14 ga = 600 lbs
- 1/8" = 886 lbs
- 1/4" = 1802 lbs

This is just for the plating.

Bingo..
14 gauge tread plate..
But May Chang my order to smooth, cause silage may not slide off tread plate very well...

You would be correct you putting a hoist on it?

Yes..

 

[jerrycmorrow]

why not go with expanded plate since you're already installing a hoist? really cut the weight down.
wait! is there any gubmint regulation regarding that?

ok. didn't think about you hauling wheat. thought just silage and wood. a definite case of tunnel thinking.

i don't know why expanded, if the holes aren't huge, wouldn't hold silage. many lawn companies use either expanded steel or welded mesh for the bottoms and sides of their clippings carriers.
the expanded steel comes in different openings and roughnesses. can be very smooth and can be very rough (as for good footing). can't see why silage couldn't be slid off a smooth, small opening expanded plate.
course, as often happens, i could be totally full of bat guano.

Good morning Mike.

No, spent all day running down a blower motor and getting it installed on the wood stove. I have a gimpy leg and am not getting around too good.

Evening gents, neighbor and I cut a dead red elm this afternoon, got enough to stretch out my hedge for a few days. It's been hand to mouth for burnable wood this month. Miserable weather forcast this weekend, it hit 45 today and looking at 18 for tomorrow.

Howdy Jim.

 

[diggers_dad]

Evenin' all. Cold weather moving in down here. They're predicting lots of icy stuff for NW Arkansas.
