The driveway was a muddy mess, so I went and got a load of gravel this morning... took the 14k dump and put 6 tons in it... The 6.7 pulled it (24,980 lbs. gross weight) like a champ!
I had to use the skid steer to assist the trailer, because it was too heavy and wouldn’t dump...

Mine is 14k GVWR. My trailer weighs 3,200 lbs empty. So 14,000-3,200=10,800 lbs payload. Mine is 14’. The 16’ model has less payload.So the dump trailer is rated for 7 ton but it can't lift 6 ton

Rated for 14k, but loaded to 17k+... of course some of that is tongue weight on the truck. If the loader operator has half a brain, he will load me more towards the rear, and that makes it easier to dump. This loader operator only had 1/4 of a brain.So the dump trailer is rated for 7 ton but it can't lift 6 ton
This. Except this trailer is obviously heavier than 3,200 lbs, because my truck doesn’t weigh 10,000 lbs...Mine is 14k GVWR. My trailer weighs 3,200 lbs empty. So 14,000-3,200=10,800 lbs payload. Mine is 14’. The 16’ model has less payload.
Got ya now. They should change the number, kind of deceiving if you ask me.
About all trailers are rated GVWR. It gets a lot of people in trouble.

I had this stack of slightly burnt cedar boards I took out of the house, and I decided to clean them up and use them on the lid of the front porch.
I’m going to sand them lightly and clear coat them and see how they look... if they don’t look good I’ll flip them over and use the good (un-burnt) side of the board. They are still solid.

Very cool! I would like to see more pics of the house.... it looks great from what I can see.I used old fir fence boards for trim around my windows and doors of my log house.Makes the house look experienced
I put a few of them up just to see how it was going to work out. I think it will be a good look.
