[QUOTE="Herefordcross, post: 251213, member: 3860"] The only thing with a bumper pull, we had one, is that if you load them to capacity it is rough to pull, even behind an F 450. The goose necks are so much better. The problem is that the floor, sides, etc. won't take daily abuse. We bowed the floor in ours the first time we loaded it with shelled corn, yes shelled corn. We were trying to not have another truck to maintain and it works ok but, you can't expect them to work like a dump truck. They aren't a dump truck. Depending on what you're doing a one ton dump might be a feasible option, take into account insurance, fuel, maintainence, etc. maybe it's not the best option, I guess it just depends upon the situation. Looked at the bix tex stuff and the freight for me is what hurts. Have seen some of their trailers along the intrastate and they appear to be well built. [/QUOTE]
