Looking for a multitasking utility trailer

[hube2]

I am looking for a trailer and not having much luck. Maybe what I'm looking for does not exist. Thought I would ask here and see if anyone has seen what I'm looking for.

What I'm looking for

1. Needs to be enclosed, sides and back, so that I can haul small sized stone without it leaking out. This is where I'm having a hard time finding anything.
2. It does not need to be capable of hauling my tractor
3. Looking for something that can carry about a ton, give or take (1500-2500#)
4. Would be nice if it had the ability to dump.
5. Needs to be road legal, lights, etc
6. Would like to be able to also tow it behind my tractor
7. Light enough so that I can push/pull it around when it's not hooked to anything

I have been able to find enclosed trailers I can tow behind my tractor, but they are not made for road use. The only road trailers I have found have open sides or back which would not be suitable for haling stone.

You are being redirected...

1. Needs to be enclosed, Enclosed trailer means it has a roof.
6. Would like to be able to also tow it behind my tractor, you need to add SMV signs (add blinking lights for road idiots)
7. Light enough so that I can push/pull it around when it's not hooked to anything, means single axle

Army trailer?

Solid metal sides would contain a ton of stone.

Self contain surge brakes.

Separate mechanical brakes helps on farm.

Lunette hitch for better off road articulation.

Sideboards and canvas enclosure option.

I dump with the tractor. Some folks modify to dump mechanically.

Tow nicely on the road. Handles a full load of mulch to top of sideboards. Brakes are important.

Cheap. $500 years ago with 4 sideboards and full enclosure canvas. No rust. Had to wire for lights.

HD 16” wheels.

Some models have aluminum beds and run flat tires.

My trailer is not what you want - its a farm wagon. However - I bought brand new running gear from Horst and built this wagon to my exact needs. It's ten ton capacity. I carry large rock - large chunks of pine trunk and dirt & gravel. The build up is all wood. From the main beams to the floor to the sides.

Horst makes all types/models of running gear. If you are up to building your own. Mine took three days to assemble.

You can get a single axel dump trailer with a 5200 pound axel that would carry and dump 2 tons.

Definitely the type of thing I'm looking for.

haha, now I just need to find one. Seems that no one actually has any, like everything else lately.

This looks like the same, or a very similar unit, 1600 Lb capacity:

https://www.etrailer.com/Trailers/Detail-K2/K2MMT5X7.html

$1500 with free shipping. Looks like some minimal gaps at the rear gate, so not sure about your 'small gravel' issue.

Listing doesn't specify flat packed, but there is a link to the assembly manual that clearly shows it is.

Note: This is a tilt bed trailer, but not a dump bed. You may be able to add a jacking mechanism at the front, but I'm not sure what that would do as far as lifting a load of dirt or gravel.


They also show a lower priced unit rated at 1300 Lbs for $1357 with one ramp and lower sides:

https://www.etrailer.com/Trailers/Detail-K2/K2MMT4X6.html

Both appear to be ready to ship.

Editing to add ... READ that one review carefully. Note the discrepancies about the rear gate and the gaps.
