I have been thinking about building or buying a dump trailer that I can tow with my ATV. I will be using this trailer to move earth (topsoil & general fill) or what ever else comes about around the house when using my Kubota BX25.
I would like a trailer that I can dump automatically from the seat of my ATV but the ones I have available here in Canada are very expensive (> $2500CDN). For this reason I am leaning more towards building. I have found a complete frame from costco (link below) and was wondering if some of the DIY trailer experts could give me an opinion on the actuator I have linked below and if it would work to give me enough lift to dump all contents. I know this is a question not easily answered but just some general concerns would be great.
