If one side is loose that side is dragging until you’ve cranked enough to take up the slack. I’m wondering if your straps are tight? You want them pulling equally.

The Timpte gear system with direct drive works alot better, at least on newer trailers. Hated that trailer from top to bottom, other than the capacity, 42'x102"x78". I USED to have wilson with the gears and reduction gear box. Posted 22:38 (#1265885 - in reply to #1265164) Subject: Re: Wilson grain trailer with straps, hard to open. Love the strap drives over the gearbox style. Sounds like your rollers may have enough wear on them that the door is sitting down on the slides, rather than being carried by the rollers.

Perhaps you've already done this, but has anyone greased the bearings on the drive shafts? Usually ours won't take grease & we have to use the air-powered grease buster, then the grease will flow.

One of our drivers put truck and trailer on its side and skidded down the interstate, insurance wrote off both truck and trailer. We had a wilson trailer with the strap type doors and hated it.

Has it got a nylon floor on top side, tep get full of sh't and expand, does it open and close hard when empty, if so traps need to be removed, not that big of a job, crank open is floor uneven, you will see what i'm talkin about, when they are clean open easy, scott.

I guess Wilson makes a stainless steel insert to make the bottom of the track smooth. So it's hard at the beginning but once it starts it's easy. Just where the roller is at when the doors are closed. The rollers over time wear in low spots in the track.

Posted 12:47 (#1265260 - in reply to #1265164) Subject: Re: Wilson grain trailer with straps, hard to open. when the auger or combine is dropping the grain right onto the door it tends to bind it. if you can load the front of the hopper where it will slide down onto the door it will be easier to open. Ours is not bad to open, it all depends on how you load it. Posted 10:14 (#1265166 - in reply to #1265164) Subject: Re: Wilson grain trailer with straps, hard to open. Is there a common cause of this problem or something else I should check? I am told that it should be fairly easy to crank the doors open. We've checked the rollers and there is play in the holes through the center of the rolling wheels but I don't know how much is there when they are new or if they should fit tighter. After some grain is running out they are somewhat better, but not as easy as I think it should be. It takes a lot of effort to turn the handle and get the doors to open. Have a Wilson grain trailer that has the strap type door openers. Posted 10:10 (#1265164) Subject: Wilson grain trailer with straps, hard to open. Wilson grain trailer with straps, hard to open.
