No wonder you can't back that combination up - you can't see the splitter well enough to know what it's doing.

Piston did you order that trailer yet? I want pics and report of how it works out when you get it.
My worry is using off road - like on hilly roads through my property, not flat fields "off road" - and how it would influence the tractor while loaded heavy full of #2 gravel or dirt, being that the trailer has no brakes.

I'm actually going to look at a used Pronovost today. It's a 4'x6' model, and as long as it's in decent working condition I should be coming home with it.

Came home with a Pronovost model 503 dump trailer. I like the size but I may want to add some height to the sides down the road.
Haven't had a chance to use it yet, I need to get different QD fittings for the hydraulic hose.

Cool, what'd you give for it?

Hey that's great glad you found what you needed. I was hoping you would get the Brekelman though so you could give us a report on it
I am thinking it has more ground clearance which would be good for my use.

Gordon,
I had almost wished I didn't find the used one for sale as well, I was pretty excited to buy the nice new yellow one, and your right it doesn't have much ground clearance.
I talked myself into the savings of this used trailer because I'm trying to save up some cash for a 3 point hitch Brown Tree Saw, so instead of the $3500 I would have spent in the trailer, I spent $1,000 on this one and now have another $2,500 towards the tree saw.

I would say you got a heck of a deal. Thanks for the photo. That's not to bad for clearance. I saw an old Taylor-Way trailer with a vertical cylinder and the closed end was down below the axle - yikes.
