Maiden voyage. Trailer was loaded with firewood before stacking 10 posts and 65 1x6s on top. It handled the weight awesome.

Still need to come up with a name for the trailer.
Yeah thats good but we all no what the real test is and what I want to see.................. I suppose it it is a good idea to not go the same route as the Titanic....:eek:

Dump 1 yard of dirt at moderate speed with no strain on the frame one time all the time = satisfactory. 1-1/2 yard of dirt = well done. 2 yards = outstanding and impressive. More then 2 yards =1 2 3 and unbelievable from the materials that was used...........

Oldpath. Lol dumb question. How many 5ft bobcat scoops is that. And would gravel suffice. I have a buddy that works at the gravel yard that told me to come play

I was told my 5' bucket when rounded = 3/yard so if you put in 3 scoops you should be aprox 1 yard and gravel makes an excellent choice, bring me over 3000 yards when you get around to it.......

A 5’ bobcat scoop is probably 1/2 yard.

A 5’ bobcat scoop is probably 1/2 yard.

Now I have to get my calculator back out and re-do my calculations, might be easier if fremann buys a kuboto with 5' bucket......

Depends on the bucket, the 73" dirt bucket on my Case is approx 1/2 yard heaped, the 73" utility bucket is .84 yards, lots of variables.

Just know what your loading, I accidentally overloaded my dump trailer by out 3tons once due to using the wrong bucket and material specs. Luckily my dump is pretty heavy duty!
