Thank you! At an extremely leisurely pace, it may take a min. to dump the trailer. The "holder" pin has to be removed, I use a bungee chord to tension the upper portion of the jack to keep it from flopping around, so that has to be removed, and my Highlift has a handle isolator that needs to be slid up the post. I pretty much jack until half way, then need to get up on the trailer's frame to finish the other half as the handle raises with the dumper. I would guess that at most (when 1st starting) it probably takes 75lbs of downforce on the jack's handle... and that becomes less as the dumper becomes more vertical. Perhaps I'll try to make a video with a load of snow once she's back together and out of the garage. LOL
Trust me... I don't have $2500 kicking around either. This was $300 for the trailer here, $120 for tires there and so on for three years. LOL It all adds up.
I plan to go visite the original owner with it in the spring. He was a pretty cool old fella that liked tinkering too.
