Hi Guys;
I'm in northen ohio yes, Jeromesville (between Mansfield and Wooster on OLD us30
It was an OLD mobil home axel, only going to be used behind the tractor on the farm so it is not a high speed application so it was Free and New 12 ply tires on her too! I can get a pretty good supply of them as I've got some friend who set trailers for livings.
The cylinder is not that far back, and any weight that is beyond the piviot point will help off set the weight that is ahead of the piviot point, the cylinder will only have to lift about 36" worth of material. My jinma tractor lifts it DRY while ideling and the mower on the 3 point for
Ballast for the hydraulic output which would be normally for a dual wheel rotary cutter which would raise 3pt and lift wheels at the same time, it is my only hyd output on that compact. If i find it wants to raise the hole trailer (on 3 pt) while dumping then that shouldn't be a problem as it will still dump and the raised 3 pt will help the dumping forces that the cylinde exerts.
Hope that answered the questions, I'll hopefully be able to use it this comming weekend, as I was busy framing inside the barn this weekend.
I've been working on the barn with my brother, but I had amish crew put up the main structure and found it was easier and cheaper that way. put little over 23K into it with everything so far. framing ran just under 20 and rest in electrical and misc stuff.
