dump

I am looking to purchase a flatbed dump truck for personal use hauling lumber, brush, stone, firewood, trash, and mulch. I estimate driving 1000 miles or less per year, all local trips to the sawmill, transfer station, and stone yard. Wanting to stay under $5k and 26k GVWR. Would prefer diesel...

So not sure if this is the right place but I have a 2021 6x10 Griffin Dump Trailer. I bought it very lightly used, basically new. Since June 2025, Ive used it practically every single day as I own a fence & firewood business. It's seen aggregate, firewood, rock, demo, and who knows what else...

I've got a 2025 Ram 2500 with the Cummins. GVWR is 11040. I'm looking to get a dump trailer. I'm going to go with a bumper hitch rather a gooseneck. Heaviest thing I would probably haul would be gravel. Probably also going to haul mulch, etc. I'm not planning to haul any vehicles in it, I've...

Love my dump truck. Took me a year to find one like it, but I’m thinking about replacing it with a dump trailer. Registration on my truck alone is $1,500/yr in PA. Then theres insurance, fuel, repairs, etc. I would need a GN dump trailer with a payload of 10 tons to match the dump trucks’s...

Hey Folks, I have a JD 850 4x4 tractor with the JD 80 loader and recently my bucket began really straining to dump causing the hydraulic pump to whine big time. Closing the bucket works fine. Also, it has no strength when opening, so while it will hold up to carry a barrel of water or some...

I purchased a leaf collector yesterday on marketplace. The best I can tell is that it's the JD Tilt Dump MCS. This particular model has the gas engine off to the side to run the blower, not the pto driven blower. It was mounted on an X730 I believe, so the included brackets are not quite the...

I should be picking up a new (to me) pickup truck in a few days. It's 22 F-350 XLT 6.2L V8 with 10 spd auto, crew cab with a 8ft bed. Tow rating is 14,800lbs bumper and 15,400bls (IIRC) for a goose-neck. Now I'm looking at dump trailers to haul gravel, dirt, trash, wood etc. I'm at elevation...

I have an aerial lift with a problem I'm trying to debug. One of the components in the electrical logic diagram is a "pump dump". It is some kind of electrically operated valve because it's shown on the electrical schematic with 2 wires going to it, a ground and 12v controlled by a set of...

I have a Griffin 6x12 Dump trailer I purchased new in June 2024. Updated pics to show trailer rating The battery lasted about 3 months The tires lasted about 4 before they were coming apart. I just broke a spring last week, not covered by warranty. I took the suspension apart and found the...

I have a small dump trailer that I have been using to haul 1 1/2" stone to fix problem areas in my trails. I my be using it more extensively to work on trails in our new Town Forest. While having a dump trailer is nice for this work, the rear gate opens like a door, which is not really a great...

Hi I need a heavier duty vehicle to move some of my construction equipment I know it's customary to use a dump truck for this but I also do other work that requires a flatbed and or hauling vehicles here and there so I'm thinking the ultimate vehicle for me might be a modified rollback truck...

So I have the truck in the title. It's been my plow truck and general heavy tow vehicle, mulch vehicle etc. It has about 15K miles on it since new.. It goes out in the worst of the worst of the worst weather.. Its on its 4th.. Yes 4th set of manifolds, 2nd set of heads, 4th set of brakes...

I have an 8’ single horse trailer converted to a utility trailer and im gonna build a dump bed on top of the existing floor with a gin pole type set up for dumping a load.. im not sure what size channel or what type of steel I want to use for the new trailer bed since it will be the frame of...

I recently purchased a 2014 Mahindra max 28xl with 150 hours. New to owning a tractor. The front in loader is really slow to dump all other functions work fine. I purchased a gauge and check the pressure. All is at specs 2100. Now here is the strange thing I disconnected the dump hydraulics and...

I think the operator left something behind. How do you explain this to the boss? All credit to https://www.yahoo.com/news/truck-bed-slams-highway-sign-184734353.html

I have an old CAM Woodsman dump trailer that is 4'x8'. I got it mainly for us behind my tractor in the woods. It's great for that: since the wheels are tucked in under the sides the narrow profile makes it easy to maneuver down the trails in my woods. It's got a 3500# axle, but no brakes and no...

Hi all. looking for some ideas for a new dump trailer. I’ve got a good amount of dirt/wood chips to move on my property and I think this would be faster than going one bucket at a time with the loader. Given the distance I need to move (150 yd). Going to build a backstop this fall! Ideally I...

I've occasionally thought of getting a small dump trailer for personal use. I recently bought a 2T mini-ex (4200#) and am wondering whether a trailer that size could haul it, or if it's likely too short. The footprint of my mini is about 4x5' (WxL) with the tracks extended. My truck is a 2020...

I came across this trailer frame near me and was thinking that I might get it. I'm considering converting it into a mobile office, equipment trailer or a dump trailer. Will this work? Does it look in good enough shape? What should I look out for before buying it? What improvements would need to...

How do I prevent the dump bed from bouncing (on the hydraulics) when I have to lower a heavy bed? It seems kind of violent, it can't be good. I suppose there is an accumulator, but how do I size it? The trailer is about 3 yds (6'x10'x1.5') Thanks for the knowledge!

Thought this would be an opportunity to let some of us with dump trucks/trailers to show some of the uses & situations for them. Today I started delivering stone to build a 200’ long temporary stone trail over a muddy area for a customer. Here I am arriving at the site with 10 tons of 3” tire...

Noobie here, literally have maybe 1-2 hours on our new to us tractor. We've had a dump trailer for hauling stone, firewood, mulch, etc. but we need to replenish some of our landscaping stone around the house. We have black granite, so it's a bit bigger than your normal 3/4" rock. What's my best...

I bought a 1981 Kodiak C70 dump truck. It had a plow and salt spreader. The hydro pump is engine belt driven with an electric solenoid to engage it (switch on the dash). I have removed everything for the front plow - 3 hydro lines ran to the front from the valve block, and the two cable control...

This trailer is FS on Facebook. Owner says its factory build but can't find a name. Anyone know the manufacturer or brand? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dump trailer in excellent, working condition! - 8 feet long (98 inches)- 4...

Hi. I have issues with my hydraulics. The bucket dump is going down slowly and when I push the joystick all the way (it has a two stage valve: slow and fast), then the bucket rollbacks. It just started doing this. No other functions are affected. I had the cylinders resealed, did not fix the...

Hi, I just got a used MF1754 with a DL135. So far everything is great, but when trying to switch from a bucket to a bale spear (SSQA plate) I noticed that the curl/dump between the left and right side are not moving at the same pace. One side is always ahead of the other. This makes it...
