Home-Built 2 Wheeled Trailer Holds Roll Of Drainage Tile
This home-built 2-wheeled trailer is designed to hold a roll of drainage tile vertically for transport and then tip it back in the field to unroll into a trench. To load a roll, the operator removes a reel from the top end of the spool and then backs up and inserts the upright shaft through a 12-in. dia. pipe in the roll. In the field, a pair of hydraulic cylinders are used to tip the spool horizontally to the ground.
The spool can handle pipe up to 6 inches in diameter. There's 3,300 ft. of tile on a roll, and on a busy day we go through three to four rolls a day.
I built it five years ago for less than $500. Commercial rigs cost $4,000 to $5,000 so I saved a lot of money. (Ken Reynolds, 15826 Shermanville Rd., Linesville, Pa. 16424 ph 814 683-4890)
