"No Hydraulics" Dump Trailer
You can pull this dump trailer behind any pickup, car or tractor because it needs no hydraulics to dump. A hand winch on front tips it to the back.
It holds 6 cu. yards and measures 5 by 8 by 4 ft. high. Key to its success is a rolling gin pole that slides down the front of the box as it's raised. Once you've emptied it, it's weighted so you just release the winch to let it fall back down into place.
It cost $800 to build it from all new parts except for the wheels and tires. We use it to haul all kinds of trash, mulch, firewood, and so on. I could make plans available if there's enough interest. (Thomas E. Hoover, 3386 FM 1798, Lanevile, Tex. 75667 ph 903 863-5524)
