Redneck dump trailer

[davidwyby]

Had to drive the truck up on wood to get it high enough to raise the landing gear(it’s huge on these M105 trailers)

Gin poles in the truck only got it steep enough to dump a little over 50%, but still quite handy. Need to make the tailgate side swing, maybe connect winch to the landing gear with it down to get the tongue high enough. Or I need to build longer gin poles anyway. Trailer needs tires so maybe I will put the next bigger size on it to get the tail end higher when dumping. Also better sides of course…maybe even metal.

I think it holds a cord thrown but haven’t stacked a cord to check.
