Off road dump trailer options

Has anyone used a CAM Woodsman? They are not made anymore, but they seemed like nice trailers for use in the woods behind a compact tractor.

But a good looking pallet.

Yes - they found it in a field.

I was waiting for someone to say that

Ya, it was leaning up on a 200 dollar rotary cutter !

OK, picked it up yesterday, for about US$1300 before tax.

I may follow suit -- if your review is favorable. Any chance it can be easily converted to hydraulic dump?

Gordon -

Nice work on the hitch modifications. It reminds me that I really need to work on my welding skills.

I find I seldom use the drawbar on my tractor for just that reason. I end up using a draw bar that goes between the lower 3 Pt hitch arms.

I do hope you and Piston will keep us up to date on how your Provnost trailers are working out.

I'm still nosing around for a solution that will work for me. I'd love to find something that is 4' (or maybe 5' max at it's widest point) and maybe 8' long that is rugged enough and has good ground clearance for use in the woods, but is still street legal. I don't have to go far or fast (typically less than 5 miles on roads with speed limits ranging from 30-40 mph). I typically just take my unregistered, non-dumping trailer out on the back roads and hope no one stops me. (I suppose I could make the argument that I'm legal since I have the SMV triangle, and it's "ag business", since the USDA considers forestry a type of agriculture, but I doubt I'll win that argument if it comes down to it)

As soon as I get some use on mine I will update with my thoughts. I've been away since I bought the trailer, so it's just sitting there mad at me for not using it.

I'm interested in that as well. The website did not say.

Has anyone looked at or used one of these? They come in wagon or trailer form. You can add a hydraulic piston.

They told me when I picked it up that some people put electric dumps on them, so I imagine you could put a hydraulic dump as well. Give them a call and see what they say! They are very nice people and very helpful.
