I wrote another post some time ago on a dump trailer, the time to jump off the fence is here. Just wanted a little more information from experienced trailer guys. I need a trailer to haul; construction debris, shingles, aggregates and excavation spoil. On an infrequent basis my mini TLB weighing...

I should have broken my last post (Will I fit?) into two separate posts. Does anyone have any experience with Miska dump trailers? I was looking at having a 5T with a 6*12 box upgrade but the 6T comes this way and would probably cost less. They also have a tube frame/ scissor lift model and a...

I've been looking at a 5T 6*12 dump trailer to haul spoil, gravel stone etc. I would also like to haul my Mahindra Max 22 TLB. I'm away from home and don't have the ability to take a tape measure to the tractor. The tractor spec's say 102.4 + 38" overhang on the backhoe. It's been suggested that...

Hey, I'm away from home and looking at a dump trailer. Is there anyone out there with a Max 22 TLB? Will it fit in a 12' long dump trailer? Thanks for the help!

I'd like to know why my flux core welds grind so easy compared to my mig welds. I like to use mig, the welds are so neet and clean with no spatter. The flux core weld is so easy to grind when it comes to clean up. I'm doing auto body sheet metal, could someone explain this to me?

Has anyone tried to modify your SCUT backhoe into an extenda hoe? Another 12-18" would be great! Any idea's or experience with this would be appreciated.

Which senario would result in a stiffer floor, (less deflection) 2*8's 16" on centre or 2*10's 24" on centre.

My seat cover was coming off the metal pan, the dealer shipped me a new one at no charge. 1st time I've ever collected on a warranty without any cost!!!

I looking for someone to help clear a lot off. So I can build a house. It's to far to bring my TLB. I need to remove some small pine stumps and a little bit of grading. Anyone in the Georgetown SC interested let me know, I'd rather put a couple of bucks in a TBN members pocket than the rental house.

The vinyl cover on my seat is coming off at the bottom edge where the vinyl wrap around. The trim strip is also coming off. Anyone else had this problem? How can I fix it?

Has anyone tried a 16" bucket on the Max 22 backhoe? Does it reduce the digging performance? Just wanted some input before I drop $450 bucks!

I can't find a stock attachment to do what I need, so I have decided to build my own design. What I need to know are the dimensions of a Cat1, 3 pt hitch? I need the following dimensions: width between the lower pins, height from lower pins to the top link, and if the bottom pins are forward...

What does the float on a backhoe do? How is it used?

I have a 3pt. hitch but have never used it. I know a 3pt has no down pressure, but will it float if I set it all the way down?

I still can't decide whether a box scraper or a landscape rake will be the tool. After I excavate a driveway and spread the road base material with my FEL I need to refine the grade. I realize that I must stop using equipment at some point and switch to rake and hand screed to achieve the...
