ATTENTION: farmers, harvesters, truck drivers, slaves, whatever you might be.

I have yet to figure out what the point of a beet cart is. If you are pulling trucks you might as well simply pull the semi alongside the harvester or run straight trucks which don't need to be pulled as often. I suppose before the advent of the Safe-T-Pull I could see them being used.

because a beet cart is built to be pulled through that shit - trucks aren't.

Dumb question that I should know but my family farmed further out west and didnt farm beets. but why do they used caged trailers for beets?

well i dont know anything about beets, but im going to assume that why have all that extra metal that weighs more than mesh. With commodities such as corn/beans/wheat/canola/other grains, you need a full sided trailer in order to keep it in there, whereas beets wont fall through the mesh, in which you can have a lighter trailer, in which you can haul more. but thats just my assumption

Because the same trailer lets them haul the money back to their farm without blowing away.

The trailer is built that way to be very light. The truck has no hydraulic pump or oil tank and trailer has no hoist on it to save weight. The sides are made of snow fence and thin steel tubing.
