Unique Gooseneck Grain Trailers

Unique Gooseneck Grain Trailers D&K Trailers’ Grain Master Gooseneck Trailers are transforming how smaller farmers transport their harvests. Built for versatility and efficiency, the Grain Master has an 8 by 12-ft. box with up to three extensions for increased capacity. Its gradual 30-degree rearward slope allows for easy unloading of grain and mixed or pelleted feeds, making it ideal for farmers who need reliability and ease of use. All Grain Master models come standard with a gooseneck hitch. The 20-ft. trailers can hold between 325 and 450 bushels, and their 2-axle, 8-wheel dually setup is designed for stability. D&K offers three different axle sizes to suit various needs. Poly Minimizer fenders, made from durable hard plastic, prevent rust and breakage while keeping debris away from the wheels and trailer sides. Models come in a variety of colors. A key feature of the design is that only 12% of the weight is transferred to the hitch, reducing stress on a truck’s suspension. “It’s typically the smaller farms that are the Grain Master’s target market,” says D&K owner Brad Penlerick. “Those who want to haul grain to elevators or ethanol plants without hiring a larger semi. They’re perfect for them as the trailers can be pulled by 3/4 or 1-ton trucks at highway speeds. Even a half-ton truck can handle them.” The trailers come equipped with brakes, lights, turn signals, a breakaway box, and safety chains for peace of mind. Optional features include a 2-speed jack and a rollover electric tarp with a key fob, for added convenience. “Tarps are optional, but most buyers opt for the deluxe 18-oz. heavy-duty Sherlock truck tarps that protect loads from the elements,” says Penlerick. Manufactured in Nebraska and available across North America, Grain Master trailers are sold directly or through select dealers. Entry-level models start around $15,000 for the 325-bushel size, with prices rising to $18,500 for larger models and those with higher-end features. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, D&K Trailers, P.O.
