DUMP TRailer Building PLANS

Depends on how wet it is. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] In Nevada, when the stuff had time to dry out, I hauled trailer loads that didn't seem much heavier than feathers. However, if it was fresh, or when it rained or snowed on the load before I hauled it to the dump, my 5' X 12' X 16" dump trailer was heavily loaded - nearing the 7000 lb load capacity (including the weight of the trailer, of course). My dump trailer only had a hand winch from a boat trailer, so cranking it up to dump was only a little less work than forking it out by hand. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

This comes from Deere website:

Topsoil 1600#/cu yd
Loam earth 2100#/cu yd
Dry earth packed 2550#/cu yd
Wet earth excavated 2700#/cu yd
Dry clay 2500#/cu yd
Wet clay 2800#cu yd
So depending on amount of straw or saw dust it could range
from 1000#/cu yd to 2700#+/ cu yd.

Thank you. That'll give me an idea.
Here's the website (sorry).
