I bought a glow timer for my Kubota on eBay once. I knew it was a Chinese clone. When it arrived, it looked better than the original Denso. They had copied it exactly, including embossing 'Made in Japan' in the case.

I've always appreciated 3 way dump trailer, but never seen one in person. So.... how do you select which way to dump? I understand the cylinder part. Do you pull pins for the ones you don't want to act as hinges? Are there lockouts to prevent brain fog so you don't accidentally mangle it? Just curious.

On mine there are pins securing each corner as needed, but they made it foolproof and it doesn't allow having the pivots locked diagonally, or to dump forwards.

How does it accomplish the lockout?

It's a pin that locks what's basically a horizontal trailer ball in each corner.
You can kinda see them in the photo.

Yeah, I had to look closer. Thanks!

Hopefully I can explain it in a way that makes sense.
The bed of the trailer has a fork (yellow circle) in each corner, while the chassis has an hinge pin (blue circle) per corner as well that these forks will slide into. Then there are two locking pins.
These locking pins are the ones that let you choose either rear dump or either of the side dump. By putting the locking pins in the rear forks, it will dump to the back. Putting the locking pins to either side, will make it dump to either side.
I suppose with this trailer, you can put the locking pins diagonally and make a mess out of the bed though.
Due to the much shorter distance between the hinge and the cylinder when dumping to the side, it gets a much higher angle than when dumping to the rear.

I saw this tractor and the townie that had it had no idea what he had, so he was way low on his price,
So, I handed him the cash and brought it home!
SLH 35hp air cooled diesel, FARM tractor, built to do farm work, made out of cast iron with a steel hood, built in Italy by SAME. It has a 3 point hitch, hydraulic remote ect. so it's ready to do work.
NO, it's not new, but it starts easy, runs like a top with good power, and has 60 pounds of oil pressure. It's going to be perfect for the job I bought it to do!
