I've gotta say, it works pretty good, but remember to remove the tailgate first Just be careful. I got these 2 tons of rock off of this trailer by myself in about 4 minutes.

Cornering fast with downfolded side boards works even better, cuz' you dont even have to disconnect the trailer, and it doesnt require additional manual labor to spread the gravel !!!

The only problem I see is the ROPS is folded down and you know that is not a safe way to operate. But then again you probably just lowered it to make the picture clearer.

Good Job.

XLR82V2:

Nothing wrong with your idea. I do it will my dual-axle trailer, loaded
with gravel, but I sure can not lift it off its back wheels!

I also had my trailer deck made with sheet steel (10 guage) for
a smooth surface. Gravel or dirt slides out better than a wood deck.

I just did that Friday evening with a 16 footer loaded to the gills with sand. I stood that thing up about 60 degrees before the sand would slide off.

Nope, just north of Chester, Ellis Grove... Don't blink, you'll miss it. Actually I live out in the country a couple of miles south of EG.

Nope, no IDOC for me, but I've got a couple of Bro's in Law and quite a few friends that do (or used to, I should say... a few of them took the early out)...

Welp cuzz, I jus don't no bout that. Mite be a little hard to spred them rocks out like them big dumpers do withouts one 'a dem tailgate things tatched back ther on tha back like a big truk. Cuz wen it comes, it all comes at one time in a big heap like the ol' bull out back. I thawt it wuz eazey nuff justa spred it out with that buckit hooked on the fronts a the trakter any ways.



I've gotta quit typing like that, or I won't be able to stop

I hauled 2 more loads of rock today after I took those pics... removing the tailgate makes a HUGE difference... I just got too excited to try it on the first load and forgot all about the tailgate being on there still. I can unhook from the pickup, dump the trailer, clean off the remaining 3 or 4 shovels full of rock from the back of the bed/bumper, and have the trailer hooked back up again to the pickup, all within about 5 minutes... I had the gal at the scale at the quarry scratching her head as to how I got back there for another load so quickly... I told her I've got a BIG shovel
