newbie in WA state

[KCBigfoot]

I've been hanging around here a little while and picked up a lot of good pointers before buying a dump trailer.

Picked up a D7X7210 Maxxd yesterday - 6'x10' bed, 9,990 LB GVWR. I'm impressed with the build, certainly heavier duty than others I looked at.

Also, Trailer Boss in Marysville treated us well. Seemed knowledgeable and honest.

No tractor yet - that's coming. :licking:

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder.

Enjoy the site and that sweet looking trailer (we'd call it a float).

Welcome from Olympia!

Welcome! Very nice trailer seems you'll have a tractor soon.. making that dump bed sooooo much fun!

So big foot does exist.... I KNEW IT!

Welcome to TBN and the forum. Nice trailer. From Amber, WA.

What kind of project are you doing in the pictures?

Welcome from the south sound. Nice trailer! If you do much material hauling with it you are going to need a tractor with fel, or lots of hand shovel work:thumbdown!

Welcome from West Sound. Now you will need another trailer when you get your tractor; 10' won't work even for a SCUT. !6' works nice for my BX. I wish for a dump trailer but no $$ right now.

BX, loader, no rear implement won't quite fit inside a 10' trailer.

Obvious that is the 10' limit. Hualing my BX 25 in that configuration would not get any work done around my sites.

Welcome Bigfoot! I am jealous. Exactly the dump trailer I want. If it was bigger than I wouldn't have any excuses not to haul my tractor over to my many Bro-in-laws in the area. Honestly, it looks longer than 10ft. How much! I want that. Might have to go take a look at them.

 

[KCBigfoot]

Thanks for all the welcomes and and compliments. I've been traveling, not ignoring everyone

I'll worry about an equipment trailer once I finally get a tractor. I finally pulled the trigger on this trailer when I quit worrying about getting something that could do everything. "Universal" is often code for "compromise".

Put a couple loads of gravel on the driveway this weekend and the spreader gate works great too. Two yards doesn't go as far as you'd think.

I got a quote from the same outfit, Olympia branch. They quoted $5899. Could you please post any pics of how the spreader gate works? Thinking I should consider the 12ft version so I could squeeze in my BX if I have to.

 

[KCBigfoot]

The spreader gate is a lot like a dump truck. It's very solid but opens easy. A bar extends thru so both sides are latched from one lever.

Heavy latch keeps it closed.

Chains limit how far it opens.

 

[dragoneggs]

Thanks KC... so the gates hinge on the sides and also on the top depending on how you want to dump, eh?

Welcome from Woodland. Thanks for letting all of us from Washington borrow your trailer, very sweet of you.

I don't want to borrow the tractor but the trailer is another story.

Welcome to TBN. You will get lots of work done with that trailer.

Anyone looking for a good trailer flat or dump, look at Great Northern. Great company and great product too.

Got this as a compromise as my other trailer could not handle this thing and instead of another higher GWR flatbed equipment hauler thought, I can get road rock as well when needed as well as haul this thing around.
