Small dump trailer

nodlenor · Feb 21, 2015

I'm thinking about purchasing a small single axle dump trailer (4x6 or similar size). I would consider a used one in fairly good shape. Looks would not be an issue as Long as every thing works and it is not rusted out. I'm in north central Missouri. Anyone know where I might locate one not too far away? What would be a fair price for used?

Do you mean a hydraulic dump or a tilt type dump?

Hydraulic!

I think a 5x10 is about the smallest practical in this category. Probably at least 1500 for a reasonable used one. Typically a little more. EG Brymar 5x10

Both King Kutter (model XB) and Pronovost (P503) are small dumps. Both are real nice IMHO. Pretty sure they are between 2 and 3.5k IIRC. With the Prono being most expensive

Thanks guys, I guess I'll have to do some looking around. I want to use it behind my TU150F Iseki so I don't want to go very big.

Where do you live at in north central Missouri? I might have the size you need, it's one made and is for off road use.

I have a 5x10 dump trailer and it is too small. I wish I had ordered a 6x12. Looks pretty though!

This past summer, I finally added removable wooden sides. It took me a while to get to it since the job required me to visit my sister's power planer since PJ's stake pockets are not large enough to accept a standard 2x4.

For $5300, it had better!

$1500 cannot buy a used dump trailer of any size in my area.

I live north east of Trenton. Do you have any pics?

I have seen a couple on CL for that in the last few years but I have not seen them in person. Possibly needed a lot of work.

Yes it's just right for your tractor, but you are about 4 to 4.5 hours from each other. The tires and wheels that are in the picture didn't get the job done, I have 13" car wheel and tires on it now. You can call if you would like to.

Looks about the size I'm wanting but I don't have the hyd. hookup on my tractor and we are a long ways apart. Thanks anyway.

I ended up building my own 5 x 9 with stakes... hand pump to dump and it works well... only slow.

It is also single axle which eliminated all the hinge point stuff since it pivots on the axle.

Almost bought a 46 by 90 5000 lb dump trailer... asked the guy why he was selling and he said never realized he couldn't use if for sheet goods...

So, single axle is ok as long as you don't overload... make sure it can haul 4 x 8 material for versatility....

Eric... love your red PJ trailer!!!

This is what I have been looking at a Cam Superline 2.5 Ton single axle hydralic dump trailer, their 2.5CAM508D will haul 2.5 Ton
