That's the same bed that grain trucks start from. No different other than the welded down plate. It isn't the sides that are the issue. Have you ever shoveled 100 bushels of beans? Multiple times a day? If you are lucky that's ALL that would be left in the truck after the gate is opened with no hoist. That's the crazy part of the scheme right there.
Before beginning this little adventure I would take a trip to the Coop and see if they still have a lift floor that is operational. If they do, it might work. It depends on the small town.

The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
