Help with unloading

[DIRTCUTTER]

Ck30 5ft bucket w/bh

Yesterday I had to unload by hand 1.5 yds of road base from the back of my pickup.
Is there a way I can use my tractor. I have a 5 ft bucket, there is only 4 ft between the finder wells. I didnt try using the backhoe. Am open to any suggestions

What about a tarp under the material before you fill the truck, you may be able to pull it and the material will come with it, years ago a company was selling a roll system for a 1/2 ton to assist in unloading, another is to put a sheet of plywood and slide this off, I tried with conveyer belting years ago and other than the belting buried under the load, did not have a tractor and secured the belting to a tree and drove away, at least it was fast

ONE Word
Loadhandler

 

[rd_macgregor]

I'm not sure if a CK30 is hefty enough, but my DK45S could be attached to the front tow hooks on the truck and make the whole thing a dump truck! Or, maybe you want to consider the Loadhandler option instead.

This is why dump trailers were invented.

Get a shovel or risk smashing your truck bed.

A bh in the truck bed is asking for trouble. It doesn't take much to bend sheet metal. As Highbeam said, shovel time or a new trailer.

How about using a wife:

I would pay to see that, that's cool!

Rick's getting a smack when Mrs. Wallace sees that.

I tried unloading my flatbed trailer with the backhoe ONCE. I definitely wouldn't try it with my pickup.

I now have a small tandem axel dumping trailer, box on it is 4'x7'. Perfect.

I've used my BH and now my mini ex many of times to unload trailer and truck. Key words BE VERY CAREFULL, it may not be the best solution, but it can be done, and is a lot easier on the back. Only You know what your capable of doing with your machines.

I have the Loadhandler from way back when it first came out. Now what
I do is similar to what you describe: I have a tandem trailer with smooth
steel deck and I use my CK30 to lift the tongue for my version of a dump
trailer. I made my tailer hitch attachment for my pallet forks extra beefy
to handle the load and my trailer has a fairly short rear overhang. I don't
get the lift of a real dump trailer, but it does work.

If it is a one time deal; sweat.
If it is a regular thing either get a dump body put on or a flat with removable sides (cheaper and usually over 7ft wide).

Rick, it's way way way too close to Christmas for those wife jokes!!!
September 15 th is the cut off date on those. Thats going to cost ya.

Just replace the Pick up bed with a hyd lift flat bed.

Seriously - get the LoadHandler if you don't want to spend the bucks for a dump trailer. Best $150 you can spend. It really does work as advertised

I don't rave about many products - but this one does the trick. I got the 3000# version, and have used it for heavy loads of gravel, bank run, topsoil, fill, mulch, etc. Only headache is cleaning around the wheel wells

 

[JoelD]

I also have load handler, works really well, I have the 2000lb version and the material tears up some with crushed stone, I'll get the heavier duty version next time but man does it save time.

Cleaning around wheel wells is a hastle though.

I'd love a dump trailer but big money for something I'd seldom use.
