Dump trailer tailgate, spread to barn door

[HomeBrew2]

Nice job! I have a locally made 5x10 dump that came w/ just barn doors. Surprisingly, they don't do too bad a job limiting the dump amount when chained loosly together ... takes a little messing with though

I have a PJ dump trailer , 14ft. dual axel, when I bought this I was worried about spreading 2b limestone with it. The dump trailer spreads just as well as my F800 ford dump truck and is much cheaper to use. When spreading stone the trick is in setting the chains evidently you don't know how to due this. Pratice.

Well, I guess not...............

Nevermind, your right...

Did the tie backs a day or two ago, I am loosing track of time with this house project going on

Anyway, I guess it was not orange bailing twine,,,, she had some mason's line handy

That is the same caribiners that I use. My trailer does not have the rod like yours so I had to install an "I" bolt to the flat stock that is welded to the side.
The caribiners are much easier to use and won't just come off when you dont want it to

My buddy with his trailer was helping me move today, (bet he is sore tonight ) but anyway, on his trailer, I saw what I need to make. No extra pieces to keep track of and set down.

Sometime when things slow down, that is what I will do.

Made me remember those horseshoe gate latches that WroghtnHarv does. Should have thought of it earlier.
