Hauling Dirt with Ford Golden Jubilee and ATV Trailer....

ProjectKing · Aug 5, 2018

Thought you all would enjoy a video of moving dirt with my Ford Golden Jubilee and MUTS trailer. I loaded the dirt with a L3301 TLB. Was pretty fun work.

Also in the video is quick demo of sifting unburned logs out of the dirt with my wicked grapple. Really is handy! Basically a giant pitch fork!!

Nice vid, I've been looking into one of those type trailers as I want to be able to use an atv or compact tractor to pull it. I like the winch/cable lift system for simplicity and versatility but I'd prefer an electric winch over the hand one, not so sure about the walking tandem axle for yard use though it seems to me it would tend to tear up the turf making shaper turns?

That trailer is real handy. Hauls a big load of dirt and is fairly easy to dump without need for hydraulics. It’s made to be pulled with an ATV but works great behind a tractor as well!

Yes you certainly could convert over to winch lift. The hand crank is fairly easy to use... but an electric winch would be nice when hauling lots of loads!

The tandem tires I suppose could damage fine lawns. I’ve never had any issues with that but my lawn is far from fine! Lol! (0: What I like about the walking beam axle is how smooth it rides over bumps. And it can crawl across rocks and logs without hanging up.

Enjoyed your video!

No video here but a similar project.

My larger tractor is smaller than yours, as is my smaller tractor. But my dump trailer pulled by the smaller tractor may be larger than yours.

Here are are a couple pictures. I am in the process of digging and moving about 800 cubic yards of earth, to change the slope of about 450 feet of bank so I can mow it.

The trailer is a 5 x 8 dump.
