It's sure is a nice trailer. One ? how you going to dump with the tail gate open? Well they hit the ground? I said one ? but I ask two.

Most trailers with tailgates like that, the gates will fold all the way back and latch against the sides of the trailer, which keeps them out of the way.

Welcome to the forum.

I suspect the tailgates swing around to the side, like the ones in this video.

That's what I was getting at.

On another point, that loadtrail dumper in the video is one of the slowest dumping units I've ever seen. That load of snow is no excuse to operate that slowly. I'd have to guess if the trailer isn't junk, the battery is about dead and it doesn't have a good power lead on the 7 pin connector.

They open out of the way and chain to the side of the trailer

Here the trailer is painted and done. You can see the yellow chains on the side for holding the doors open.

That's a good looking trailer. Sized nicely for your tractor.

Thanks. Not sure if you're referring to the John Deere or Kubota. I would say more in line with the Kubota for size although the Deere will get it's use out of it also.
