Nifty Way To Make A Dump Trailer
“My 2-wheel dump trailer locks down with a ball hitch and dumps with a bumper jack,” says Wallace Goldman, Foley, Mo.
  He started with an 8-ft. long, home-built trailer made by someone else who had used the pickup bed off an old Ford 1/2-ton pickup. The owner had mounted the bed on a trailer frame fitted with a ball coupler on front. Goldman modified the trailer so he can dump it with an ordinary bumper jack, without having to unhook from his pickup. The pickup bed hinges on a pair of 4-in. U-bolts that Goldman welded on back of the bottom trailer’s frame. The bumper jack mounts between the two trailer frames.
  To dump the load, Goldman simply releases the ball hitch on the top trailer frame and then jacks it up.
