Credit: SmithCo SmithCo Side Dump Trailers, an industry leader in side dump trailer design and manufacturing, has installed a pair of custom frame rail welding tables. Each table is 64 feet long by 7 feet wide and uses a pair of Bug-O Side Beam automatic welding systems with Miller liquid-cooled welders to enable the SmithCo team to weld both the top and bottom flange in a single, continuous weld pass. “The three main objectives of this project were to improve weld quality, increase manufacturing efficiency, and improve worker safety,” Scott Lovell, SmithCo president and CEO, said in a release. “By reducing the number of times we have to move or handle our large frame rails, we greatly improved both worker safety and efficiency. For the customer, they are getting a more consistent and more professionally welded frame rail.”

Current herbicides for new leys are not suitable for clover. The loss of 2,4-DB means there is currently no product licensed to kill weeds, but not clover, in new leys. This resulted in well-known clover-safe sprays such as Underclear, Legumex DB, Clovermax and Undersown being taken off the market. Farmers have until the end of October 2021 to use up any remaining stocks. Speaking at a Goldcrop grass seed webinar on Friday, Goldcrop’s Scott Lovell said that the only products approved for use on new grass seeds now are not clover safe.

Thu February 25, 2021 - National Edition #5 Ruksana Hussain - CEG Correspondent SmithCo’s SX3 three-axle side dump is a popular choice for construction jobs, while longer trailers work well for line-haul operations. For more than 25 years, side dump trailer specialist SmithCo has been designing and manufacturing industry-leading equipment for the construction, agriculture, waste and demolition and other sectors, providing custom solutions to clients no matter the project requirements or geographical location. Just the way founder Greg Smith first built a side dump trailer in 1994 in his Le Mars, Iowa, farm shop — creating a solution where he saw a need. Addressing the inefficiencies of the end dump trailers he was working with, Smith improvised upon the side dump trailers he purchased from a company in Oregon. And so was born SmithCo, producing three trailers in the first year of operation with only three employees at the original factory located just south of Le Mars. In 1998, construction began to build the current 70,000-sq.-ft. facility, which now employs more than 100 staff.
