Back in the old days, people made dumpcarts by putting a gravity dump box from old narrow gauge rail trolleys that were used to manually dig canals. They took WW2 army surplus axles, scrapped the rail wheels and put the dumpbin on that axle, to move earth at reparcelling operations in the 60s. When the horse drawn era stopped, lots of ditches were dug and old ones filled to get tractor sized fields.
In the 70s and 80s there were several manufacturers of hydraulic dumpwagons built on old airplane tires aside the wheelbarrow shaped box, like an ADT. These were virtually unstoppable due to their large wheels. They were nicknamed Ben Hur carts, as if they needed a horse on either side of the drawbar, and Ben Hur inside the box
Poppink still builds this style, in moor they are still the weapon of choice.
