Near-north Ontario, French River | I always dump the air when dumping my end dump, but thats for stability more then anything. I have the dump valve wired into the pto valve, so if I engage the PTO to dump the load the trailer suspension dumps automatically, I also have a manual switch on the trailer . I dont know many guys that dump the air on hopper trailers as it takes a couple minutes( even when dumping at ADM ) to unload them, plenty enough time for the suspension to adjust. I cant see a hay trailer being dumped anywhere near fast enough to warrant the hassle, unless of course hay is unloading differently 'here", here its done with forks ( tractor mounted usually) so the process is relatively slow ( 10-15 minutes), again plenty of time for the suspension. |
Dumping Air Ride Suspension before Unloading??
