dump trailer search is finally over with! I spent hours researching and visiting dealers to look at trailers because this is a big investment for me. I narrowed it down to PJ, Load Trail, or Sure trac. I settled on this little PJ because the dealer is local and has good reputation and the trailer is perfect for my needs. It's a 6.5x 10 d2 series custom ordered with 14k tandem and 12" on center crossmembers. Very pleased so far. This is considered their "medium" duty trailer but it is heck for stout. Main use will be firewood delivery for which I'll need sideboards ASAP.

Nice! How much wood you think you can haul on it. Kinda curious, thinking about one for myself. LUTT

Well it got dark last nite before I could finish loading it but it looks like it will hold two face cord, or "ricks" here in southern indiana, thrown in without side boards. I'm hoping with the boards to carry four.

12 or 14 was what I originally started looking for but they're just to long for delivering wood in some of the tight driveways around here. Plus I have a 20' deck over flatbed for hauling long stuff.

Nice trailer ... I really like the truck you are towing it with. What year? Motor? I am looking for a 3/4 ton in that body style. Hows it tow with a big load?

That will probly do it then. I have used a 12 foot dump with 3 foot sides and it liked a little hauling a full cord, just by pitching it in there. I figure if a guy stacked it would be no problem. I completely understand about wanting a ten foot trailer for getting into driveways! LUTT

It's a 86 f350 with a 460 and C6 automatic. She's not quite as fast as the new trucks but she's paid for. I need to bolster up the rear springs and finish fixing up the body. She's been a good old truck.

Yeah I figure I'll need at least 24" side boards with maybe an extra 6" board on the front. We'll see. When I get them built I'll be sure and post some pics.
