push-back dump or loadhandler?

I have used my load handler IN/ON my M101 trailer and it works great. In the future I plan on upgrading the pivots on the trailer with CroMoly Heim joints like the ones on rock crawlers. The problem with dumping with those trailers is that the pivots are not designed to twist and I believe a heim joint will take care of that problem. They're cheap and readily available and they're pretty tough. I happened to find an M101 A3 with a nice PVC topper and the raised spindle axles for $650 locally. I have heard of people finding crazy deals on the A1 version, but it lacks any kind braking system.

I'm thinking of using an M100 trailer I already have. The Loadhandler sure would be easier than modding it to dump. the bed is 3x6', and 18" deep. The M101 is what I was thinking of for the push back, but it's too big for the woods here (and too heavy for me to pull with my jeep!)

The load handler I bought was for a 4x8 bed when I hah a full sized pick up.When I bought a Ranger I just cut it down in width to fit,I also sealed the cut edge with glue so it wouldn't unravel.
