I know Keystoker stays the KA6 hopper holds 275 lbs, but I think I remember putting 6 rice bags (50#) in when I wasn't empty yet. So I'm wondering if any KA6 owners know how much you have in a level full hopper.

For what it’s worth, I remember 10 level 5 gallon buckets made a completely empty hopper mounded full. That would be about 380 lbs., more or less.
