You are almost correct Bandi, Those axles are called a Walking beam axle. I have the same set up on my dump. From what little I have pulled it arround the yard empty they do work great!!! Can't wait to get it loaded and into the woods to build snowmobile bridges!!! :licking:
Have you tested it loaded to see if your tractor has enough hyd to lift it when its full? I have a 12volt power pack on mine and thought about putting "T's" in to let me use my rear remote on the tractor in case the battery goes dead. I have not done this yet. I am not sure my B7510 would have enough hyd to lift it full, it should hold about 2 tons, 4'x6'x1.5'

i haven't tested it loaded yet, but i think im gonna go out and try it on my top soil pile right now because now you have me thinking. 
although i did raise it a little bit when unloading the kubota and it picked it up like it wasn't even there and the specs say it weighs between 8 and 900 pounds.

At 2500 psi, that cyl will push 12 tons. He will either lift of push the frame out of shape with that much force.

Just what is the angle of the cyl to the base line?

tried it, as you can see it has a pretty good load on it. it pulled around nicely but when i went to dump it i needed to actually help it get started. i think the cylinder is at too flat of an angle. it may be alright with a lighter load, i don't plan on loading it that heavy all the time. when i get the tail gate latch on it i will also be able to load it more towards the rear which should help a little to, not much, but maybe just enough. and of course, the dump angle is plenty and the load came right out even though it was just dry topsoil. overall, im still pretty happy with it, but if i were to go back and do it again, i would put bigger tires and axles on it, not only for the weight, but to also raise it up a bit off the ground so it makes a nicer pile, and i would also make the cylinder start angle a little steeper. its not perfect, but i'll get good use out of it. :thumbsup:

From what I can see of your walking-beam suspension, it shouldn't be a big problem to make a longer beam to put bigger tires on it.
Even with your 20-20 hindsight comments; I'm still impressed with what you built.

hahaha, touche' 600rider, by the way, thats a pretty good idea hauling that john deere around for a spare, so when the kubota can't handle the job at hand you can unload the john deere to finish the job haha! :laughing:
thanks for the comment muzza, this site is filled with good ideas!

Did you make this Dump 600rider?
I was following this thread because I am looking to buy or make something I can use both behind my Kioti CS2410 and pull it on the road for picking up stuff. So while I want it small, I also need the tires and axles road legal.

WaterDawg, Yes it does dump! Here is the link to my thread on the build. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/204019-my-version-kk-xb-dump.html
It's long but I think well worth the read if you are going to build your own. I could put road tires on it and haul it down the road if need be but I would need lights I think.

Sorry BanditBooker, I just saw your question. Yes I have been to Z&M Ag in Endiboro, when I had a JD..........many many times for parts!!LOL I actually bought a Ford 1310 for the previous dealer that was located there by the name Sid Kuhn and Sons. They were a Ford/New Holland dealership. Z&M is quit a big Dealership with several locations in Western NY. I am not familiar with Krietz rd. Is that North or South of Edinboro?
LOL, I meant - did YOU make the dump? But you answered my question regardless. Checking it out now.
