Quite common in Europe.
Dealers will take a 2 wheel drive tractor like a BCS, Pasquali, and others. Attach it to a trailer, usually fitted with a differential and a 4/5 speed gearbox. The tractor will then power the gearbox through the PTO and transfer power to the differential where the weight will be once the trailer is loaded.
Most of them won't dump. Unless the owners do the modification on the trailer to dump.
My dad had one a looong time ago. It would go uphill with the trailer fully loaded of logs. Nothing would stop that little tractor. It had a 18HP Diesel engine.

That is most likely an Chinese YB-22L diesel 2 wheel tractor, or maybe even an original Japanese one, can't tell Asia is full of them.
Though this one is missing the handle bars, and has been modified to use a steering wheel and a trailer.

I have a Goldoni like that. On mine, you take the handlebars off, the trailer has its own steering wheel, throttle, clutch pedal, and a stick attaches to control the gearbox. After a year, I went back to Italy to buy another used Goldoni, because swapping the handlebars and trailer takes about an hour. It is my "pickup truck". My oldest son has been able to drive it since age six.
Someday, I'm going to mount a hydraulic pump to the pulley on the front of the motor, and a cylinder to lift the bed. Manually lifting it with a ton of dirt to dump isn't much fun (unless the load is carefully placed to be well balanced. Even then, there are times I beed to drive forward to dump, and the bad wants to slam back down when empty)

Watching some of the Viet Nam vids, the larger of the breed are using 4 cyl diesels and air brakes on the heavy duty trailers.

How could we make one of those? It seems like it's probably easy if you know how, but I wouldn't have any idea where to start. It sure would be useful.
