cascade foothills,western wash.
I built me a dump trailer - cylinder fed from tractor hydraulics, tailgate latch operated by a 12 volt linear actuator, fed by a toggle switch on the dash. 100_0093 (712 x 533).jpg

Looks great,well built. Did you use a walking beam to the axles? I would be interested in seeing some more pics of the suspension, thanks

It looks huge! are you hauling lightweight stuff like bark etc. or are you going to fill it with dirt etc.??

What are the wheels from? or did you just buy them?

Nice job!

I bought the wheels and tires from country manufacturing, probably will haul a little bit of everything, but I won't put a big charge of crushed rock or gravel in it, but topsoil or bark I'll load 'er up !!:D
