Help with unloading

Ck30 5ft bucket w/bh

Yesterday I had to unload by hand 1.5 yds of road base from the back of my pickup.
Is there a way I can use my tractor. I have a 5 ft bucket, there is only 4 ft between the finder wells. I didnt try using the backhoe. Am open to any suggestions

What about a tarp under the material before you fill the truck, you may be able to pull it and the material will come with it, years ago a company was selling a roll system for a 1/2 ton to assist in unloading, another is to put a sheet of plywood and slide this off, I tried with conveyer belting years ago and other than the belting buried under the load, did not have a tractor and secured the belting to a tree and drove away, at least it was fast

ONE Word
Loadhandler

I'm not sure if a CK30 is hefty enough, but my DK45S could be attached to the front tow hooks on the truck and make the whole thing a dump truck! Or, maybe you want to consider the Loadhandler option instead.

This is why dump trailers were invented.

Get a shovel or risk smashing your truck bed.

A bh in the truck bed is asking for trouble. It doesn't take much to bend sheet metal. As Highbeam said, shovel time or a new trailer.

I would pay to see that, that's cool!

Rick's getting a smack when Mrs. Wallace sees that.

I tried unloading my flatbed trailer with the backhoe ONCE. I definitely wouldn't try it with my pickup.

I now have a small tandem axel dumping trailer, box on it is 4'x7'. Perfect.
