After reading Mike's post about the wagons, my question is do the wagons need hoists or can they dump them without hoists? I have some flair beds I've thought about bringing just to help out. By the way this is my first post on here so be gentle. Dale

I went last night and bought a 325 with a 326 8 roller husking bed. The gear boxes are seeping a little oil but not bad. The chains and sprockets show very little wear. I go next saturday to pick it up. I am sure I will have a few questions once I get it home.
