How long does it take to load a 30 ton lorry from the grain floor and what do you use - front loader? The process of filling 31 tons of cereal crop takes around 35 mins from start to finish on the weighbridge.
Yes most will be using 1.5t buckets on telescopic handlers. Some bigger, some smaller but loading in under half an hour I should say. Our lorries take 29t.
