Single or double acting dump trailer pump?

Good point! I will check. My other mentioned trailer was seized solid. Broke apart, the first time I went to raise it.

Ron,
I知 curious how you plumbed in your 粗mergency lower?
I too have a double acting dump trailer. When I use it on the tractor with tractor hydraulics it works great! When I use it on the truck with the pump.....I致e been stranded before too. I致e even added a 4ga wire and associated solenoids, breakers and fuses to have about 40 amps of power trying to keep the battery charged. My fully charged battery (deep cycle group 24) lasts one dump. I知 thinking the pump motor is getting tired and must be drawing a heck of a current tire drain the batteries so fast, which over a few months seems to destroy them.
OP, go single acting!!!!

Sorry Thunder chicken, I just saw your request.
