Tandem vs tridem vs splitting super-b

[mbratrud]

I've been splitting super b's for several years and I live close to grain terminals. Its great to split at seeding and harvest and put together in the winter when hauling from the bin. I like the flexibility but like someone else said not great with a swing. A Rodono fixed that problem.

I can legally haul 43.5 MT with Super B.

Tridems Can usually Haul about 32 MT

Tandems Can Usually Haul 27-28 MT

A couple years ago we bought a Wilson Commander Trailer its a Tandem With 3 Hoppers. Same Cu Feet as a Tri, but Can only Legally Haul about 28 Tonnes very handy at seeding time though. lots of clearance and nice to have the extra separation.

Some here use cameras on the trailers to see the swing from truck.

It's amazing the differences that still exist between provinces...

I was going off Alberta numbers. Im fairly sure registration is the same for all tractor units here regardless of weight. Even if there is a difference it is minimal. 63.5 costs me ~$100 for a farm plate. It was $3600 when I was commercial.

The registrations are in my trucks, but I think the tractor that I pull the trains with is about $2200 and the one on the tandem trailer is around $1000. The trailers are a little over $100 each. Can’t switch trucks without upping the weight on the registration.

Been using super B’s for 20 yrs. Never run them split. Works just fine at harvest and have no interest in the loss of efficiency hauling some distance or waiting in line with less that 44T.

I would think anyone looking at or using auper b’s would want check into the Rodono attachment. Seems to be very slick when you see at the show and watch the video
