Home built Hydraulic dump trailer for GT?

blueorrfan · Jan 25, 2015

Anyone built one?
Haul behind the GT with a hydraulic dump?
If the box was heavy enough it could drop itself from the weight so only a one way cylinder was needed?

Several. Do a search, or scan the Home Made Tractors, Implements and Accessories thread pages.

If the tractor has hydraulic implement lift capability or an added on hydraulic system, no problem, depending on payload weight and geometry.

A one way cylinder will work if the box is heavy enough. A two way cylinder eliminates the guesswork and can be used for other applications when the trailer is not in use. Blade angling is one possibility, a tow behind cherry picker hoist is another.

Lots of ideas....
I'll search and check it out...

Here is my dump trailer that I made. Works really well. I pull it with my Satoh buck. I have a couple threads on here about it. I built all the walking beam suspension myself.

Here is a couple of the tractor and trailer.

That is a beauty....exactly what I'd be looking at.
I think your tractor compares fairly close to my JD 430 too.

Pretty awesome idea. Is it possible to buy one instead of build one?

Other then mine being 4wd and manual. Probably pretty close.

I saw a similar trailer at TSC once. They may have a listing.

These are rated for 36 volts but they work great on 12 volts

Not sure if you can find one all set up and ready to go, but these carts are great, and it should be really straightforward to add a dump cylinder: http://www.countrymanufacturing.com/wagons.htm

Hope this helps.

Those are not priced to bad. Although I'm not shure about shipping.

Yes, that's a nice looking trailer and price is decent too...
I wonder what kind of weight they can take?
