I am not at home, curently, so I can't post a pic, yet. I have a trailer that was given to me. I just needed to put tires on it, so I did. It was a farm trailer, used to haul grape bins from a vinyard. It is approx 5x12 (I have to measure) and is not currently road legal, for other than agriculture.
It is VERY heavy duty, but single axle, (mobile home type axle, and 14.5" tires) so it will be about at it's limit I guess to haul my MF1010. The bed is made up of rollers, most in good working order, hence my question.
I was considering making a sort of modified dump trailer from it. I would like to still be able to haul my tractor, BUT was wondering if I could effectively make a trailer bed frame, that sat on top of the rollers, pinned in place for normal use, and when un "pinned" I could use something like an electric winch to "roll" the top trailer bed,and it's cargo off the back.
Would this work?
My MF1010 weighs about 3700, I think, and for that I would most likely use std ramps and drive up on it, but though if I had say, a load of dirt or gravel the roll off bed my make an easier unload. Worth the effort you think?
