Welcome Bigfoot! I am jealous. Exactly the dump trailer I want. If it was bigger than I wouldn't have any excuses not to haul my tractor over to my many Bro-in-laws in the area. :D Honestly, it looks longer than 10ft. How much! I want that. Might have to go take a look at them.

Thanks for all the welcomes and and compliments. I've been traveling, not ignoring everyone :)

I'll worry about an equipment trailer once I finally get a tractor. I finally pulled the trigger on this trailer when I quit worrying about getting something that could do everything. "Universal" is often code for "compromise".

Put a couple loads of gravel on the driveway this weekend and the spreader gate works great too. Two yards doesn't go as far as you'd think.

I got a quote from the same outfit, Olympia branch. They quoted $5899. Could you please post any pics of how the spreader gate works? Thinking I should consider the 12ft version so I could squeeze in my BX if I have to.

The spreader gate is a lot like a dump truck. It's very solid but opens easy. A bar extends thru so both sides are latched from one lever.

Heavy latch keeps it closed.

Chains limit how far it opens.

Thanks KC... so the gates hinge on the sides and also on the top depending on how you want to dump, eh?

Welcome from Woodland. Thanks for letting all of us from Washington borrow your trailer, very sweet of you.

Welcome to TBN. You will get lots of work done with that trailer.

Anyone looking for a good trailer flat or dump, look at Great Northern. Great company and great product too.

Got this as a compromise as my other trailer could not handle this thing and instead of another higher GWR flatbed equipment hauler thought, I can get road rock as well when needed as well as haul this thing around.
