Homemade dump trailer I built for farm tractor, using a Gehl grinder mixer rolling frame the rest i built and has a two stage single action Hydraulic cylinder to use, was used to haul firewood and logs, had up around 2500 lbs on it, and dumps easy no problems, frame used to hold a ton of ground grain, and the mixer weight was around 2500 lbs, so it can haul the weight of whatever you can toss in it,
Well the trailer uses a single action cylinder, two stages, it uses the tractors hydraulics, and to let it back down, i put the lever on my remote on Float, the trailer will haul a heavy load, running gear is from a old Gehl Grinder mixer, the machine weight was around oh 2500 not including the 1 ton of grain it held and mixed, so no matter what i stick in the back, its goin to hold it, i used it mainly for hauling firewood.

Nice. I'm looking to build one mostly to haul dirt and clay. Is this connected to the tractor hydraulics or does it have its own.
