I love dump trailers. I have a different brand, but most are somewhat similar. Ooohh boy was my wife mad when I brought the dump trailer home. Most was forgiven when I helped the son with a project where I hauled the tractor to his house. When I helped the daughter with a project, the wife couldn't stop praising the usefulness of the dump trailer. Like you say, you can haul the tractor, or poop, or make dump runs, or gravel runs, or whatever. . . .
Very nice trailer. I need a trailer like that for one season at the Kentucky Compound. By the end of a season, I would need to downsize because I think all the work for that beast would be done.
Enjoyed the video. I just ordered a new PJ D8 optioned with 16 ft length and 16K GVWR with dual oil bath 8K axles, which the PJ D8 is their version of a deck over dump trailer very similar to your Iron bull. I would assume your trailer is a 14K trailer, that really seems like a lot of weight for 1/2 ton truck, if it were ever fully loaded. My 2022 3500 RAM Cummins with rear factory air bags really knows when I am pulling my current 14K dump trailer fully loaded.
I am considering purchasing one Monday this is why I watched your review. Would you please give me your opinion now that it's been 2 years since you purchased I would greatly value your opinion. I'm considering the exact same one you purchased.
I love it, so handy as the sides fold down, 3 way rear gate, 16x8 as I deck over I can load wide things. We hauled trash, hay, trucks, skid loaders, Dodgezilla
Mr Truck, as the deck over is higher off the ground, meaning center of gravity is higher… is there any concern with that? When hauling tractors and alike any concerns with the higher center of gravity?
Nice dump trailer Kent. I have been wanting a dump trailer so, when I go to the dump I don't have to spend 2 days recovering from unloading the trailer I have manually. Can't get the wife to go for it but, she doesn't go with me to unload the trailer.
You’re the man, you tell her how it is going to be. If my wife said I couldn’t buy a dump trailer I’d have shown her the door 🚪. Life is too short to have to struggle all the time.
Nice dumpbox Kent, I wouldn't let that Bobcat on your new truck again, you might want to wait for a 3500 in case you find a John Deere tractor to put in it so it can hold the weight while loading it.
Can you take the sides off if needed to use as a more traditional flatbed, I’m considering a dump and a deck over might be a good thing to look at for versatility
It would be awesome to have that trailer in a gooseneck and the floor be 20 foot long not just 16 as the longest. Then I could haul anything and everything and not have a small trailer. So I can haul round bales and decent size tractors and etc.
State laws vary on truck capability/trailer weight. I'm trying to understand how this all works. I thought most states look at the truck capability (GVWR and GCWR) and trailer capability (GVWR). At 2:30 you indicate the 3/4 ton truck you have is capable of towing 12800 lbs. The trailer capability is greater than that (you indicate the trailer is 5000 lb and a 1 ton could haul 9000 lb in the trailer - leading me to believe that this is a 14000 lb trailer GVWR). Doesn't this trailer GVWR make it "illegal" to be towed by your 3/4 ton truck?
@@MrTruckTV Ok, 1/2 ton. My real question is if you were pulled over by the sheriff does she/he (in most states) do A or B to determine your weight: A. weigh your trailer (and whatever is in it) to determine that is under 12000 (or 12800) lb, or B. take the trailer weight rating from the sticker (14000 lb) and write you a ticket because your 1/2 ton truck is not rated for that size trailer.
@@marty9144 i know this is been over a year, but they would weigh your pickup and trailer to see if it's over loaded. Just because the pickup isn't rated for that trailer at max capacity, doesn't make it illegal to use at partial capacity. The rating on the trailer sticker is to determine how much "could" be put on, without overloading it.
late reply, but yes this does happen very often with the newer trucks that have higher towing capacities. a CDL is required for any type of commercial use over 26000lb in colorado. you can either use a smaller truck, or have the trailer manufacturer "set the specifications stickers" to a lower trailer gvw wink wink
