Dump trailer

[RonVL4]

Ok guys I need advice! Need a deck trailer but also need a dump trailer. So picture this a 6 ft dump insert for trucks set sideways in front of my deck trailer! (side dump) I could still remove the insert when not needed or have it on when iI need it and still have room to haul my tractor. I know I would not be able to haul extremly heavy loads because of hitch weight but would be handy for top soil and other lite loads. Yes I know I could just slap the insert in my truck but I carry tool boxes and other stuff in my box! What do you think?

I think Redbug had a custom trailer built like what you're describing. Do a search for posts by Redbug.

That is too cool. Dump takes up floor space but for some people it would work great. Price is steep.

You can remove the side of the dump so you can still use the entire deck length of the trailer.

The price does seem steep but your getting a 15.7k GVWR trailer that can probably haul 12k lbs and have a 5ft x 8.5ft dump bed as well. Certainly worth the price to me for an all in one trailer. I would already have one if I was going to use it enough, just too much money to be sitting in my yard for me.

Thanks Guys! Those trailers are big bucks but pretty cool! Going to look for a used dump insert and set it up with some kind of quick attach. Mind you have to first convince my wife!!!!!

Man, that is too, too, too, cool. Can I get it in a electric trailer tilt bed and 24' long?

Not sure want your exact needs are. I built a couple of hoppers. Originally built to fill with BH. Found they easier and cleaner then creating a spoil and later moving with FEL. When full I'd pick them up with the forks, strap them to back to the cage and go dump same as I would with a bucket.

Getting to your needs. I later used them pick up materials with a flat bed trailer. When placed side by side the bobcat at the yard can fill them up. Haul em home and unload with tractor.

I built my 2 hoppers 3-4 hrs out of plywood and 2x4. 1/3 yrd each. They turned out to be perfect for my B2630. Amazingly they were built for one project expecting to have destroyed them by the end, but I'm still using them over a year later.

Just a thought get a flat bed and build some hoppers. Or some guys haul there tractor in their dump trailer. IMHO I haven't priced dump inserts, but I doubt they're cheap. You can probably get a dump trailer for not much more. I'd get 2 trailers or go with the other options.

From what I saw at the Felling web site, they make a nice product.

That side dump trailer looks neat...but talk about tongue weight! Can't see a few tons of material in that all the way at the front..better get the gooseneck if the plan is to haul rock or dirt....the conventional trailer version looks like it would only be good for hauling feathers otherwise.
