Dumpbed Backwards Tractor

The first time I looked at the photo I assumed you steered from the rear wheels by twisting your butt around-using the steering wheel for leverage.
After looking at it a few more times I think maybe I was right? or not?

Every time I look at the pictures, I get turned around.

I don't think anybody's even mentioned the ball hitch on it yet.

Thanks guys, I have more fun building than useing.

The ball hitch was for pushing the dump trailer that the bed came off of and it can go back with two bolts.

Here's a shot of trailer as I built it last year.

In the above pic you can see the tailgate catch/release rod running down the side. Just a twist. This is manual/gravity dump at this time.

We can also see the 'parts dept.' in the background!
