Nice trailer build !!!
I can dump mine from the tractor seat. Tail gate hinges on both the top and bottom. The top can be released by hand so the tailgate folds down or there is a lever on the front of the trailer I tie a rope to. Pull it to unlatch the bottom of the tailgate so it swings on the top pins. I can also totally remove the tailgate. A couple pics - one shows the lever and the other the rod underneath to the bottom latch.
Here is a video from a few years ago dumping this load from the tractor seat.

Almost looks like your making serious headway now. Are the sideboards removable and looks like tail gate is going to swing open top or bottom? Looking good so far but remember you have 3 million people watching you build this trailer, no pressure............

That's a rugged trailer !! I like the way you did the side boards. Mine come on and off as one panel and can be a little awkward if I don't have help around.
