Ya'll remember when I said the future was in smaller mines?

That looks like a good hopper, I didn't read the weight capacity but you really want to look at the dump angle also and how they're hooked to the skids. This one with the posts on the dump will be tough to get back on if it slips forward, but slipping them sideways is the easiest with this brand and it's really well built. I've used this brand and many others over the years and for ease and dependability, this one is really good. The only thing that worries me is the wall thickness, I'm thinking 3/32" but maybe they have different grades.

I looked again, it says 3/16 wall thickness, which is ok for dirt and trash, but it's a medium duty hopper. Remember that the entire floor and walls are only 3/16" thick. They usually break at the welds on the handles first, but welding is easy enough. Still though, look at heavy duty hoppers for rock to compare.
