Increase dump angle

   / Increase dump angle #11  
P.S. Considering the way some types of dirt stick to my FEL bucket and hoe bucket, it is not obvious to me that another 15 degrees would do the trick. Also, look at what happens with the bottom rear of your bed if you increase the dump angle. The pivot point is well forward of the back of the bed and increasing the dump angle will bring the back of the bed closer to the ground. What happens with mine is that with an easy dumping load, the debris pile actually runs forward a bit and some of it ends up under the back of the bed. With a higher dump angle, the back of the bed will hit the top of the debris pile.

It wil also remove tongue weight from the tow vehicle as it moves the load rearwards. I think the OP is courting disaster to try to mess with it. I've had a truck's rear wheels lift off the ground when loading equipment - it was on a hill and it took off with me in the back. It was a terrifying experience that I do not wish on anyone else.

Is your load sticking or just not sliding out? For sticking loads you could mount a vibrator to shake the body while dumping. They sell them for sander bodies in winter to help sand,salt from sticking to walls and freezing. plowking
