My new best friend Tony has another new toy....you are going to want to see this one, she is a real beauty! It is a Sure -Trac Dump Trailer, a big one!!!
Great video! Thank you for choosing Sure-Trac, and for taking the time to put together a review trailer. Excited to see the "big dumps" you take with your Sure-Trac dump trailer.
Our pleasure! Thanks so much, I might be getting one soon too as my old rusty trailer that I use in the firewood delivery business and videos every day is getting kinda rough now! Thanks, Chris.
I really enjoy your show-and-tell videos with Tony. I am trying to guess what is next and I am kinda thinking of a 30 foot decked-out Lund boat. Looking forward to seeing more tractor videos from your woodyard.
I have the same exact trailer, love it! Got it new in February, custom ordered to get the telescopic hoist, took 3 months for the order. Its the same one Scheib has too. And that is one of the best reviews out there. You can tell new best friend tony worked in sales. lol!
Wow, you can take a massive dump with that trailer. Thank you again Tony for sharing your tools and thank you Chris for making the video. You 2 are always entertaining and informative to watch.
Good morning , Chris. Complete and thorough product review. Time to get some scratches on the paint😂. Congrats to Tony on an intentional investment strategy while working to retire early and for being, as Dave Ramsey calls, an EDM.
Chris, Tony has a lot of cool toys to review! Nice review of the sure trac dump trailer! You and Tony do a great job interviewing eachother with product review! I passed on getting a dump trailer forr now since i bought my dads Dump truck and a dump trailer that i use hydraulics to lift it. It was a old Ford dump truck converted into a dump trailer.
Yes it really does! I usually dont have to haul more than a cord, so i can fit one cord and a little extra in it. I will have to email you a picture! It is great for residential where i cannot get a trailer into especially in cul de sac.
Great review. Dump Trailers are hard to get in our area as well. I was fortunate to get one last month. I went with the PJs trailer. Take care friend 👍🇺🇸
@@InTheWoodyard I cut only a small amount of wood for our off-grid cabin. Maybe 1 to 2 bush cords. Mostly maple and cherry. This is my happy place. I have a chain saw and a maul. That's it... Great exercise.
I had a Bri Mar dump trailer, which was not made as well as the Sure-trac. Chris tony may want to insulate the metal box with the battery and hydraulic fluid. Your winters are colder than most and that hoist is moving slow now, it’s only going to get worse during the winter. You get what you pay for with trailers, powder coat, thicker steel, telescopic hoist, and it looks like Sure-trac makes a great trailer. The one thing that Tony didn’t mention is you have to have a truck that can legally tow that trailer. A half ton truck is not going to cut it. You would need at least a 3/4 ton HD to pull that trailer. Looks like Tony has saved his pennies over the years because he has all the fun toys and a wife that lets him do it. 😎
Seems like a decent trailer. I think if you were dumping alot of firewood by yourself the remote control is great, especially when your by customers cars and houses. I have one for my 16' dump trailer. Tony is a riot, thanks for sharing!
@Seather. What breed is your 16’er? Ours is a PJ. Scissor Hoist. I’m not dazzled with the dumping capacity. I’ve had to shovel out the front to get it to begin to hoist... It wasn’t overloaded either. I bought the 16’ primarily to haul our compact tractors as well as mulch and stone. What’s your impression of yours? Thanks
@@sawsurgeon Load Trail with a scissor lift. I've loaded to the maximum capacity many times and never has an issue with dumping. I also wanted a trailer for material plus hauling my tractor with the skidding winch on the 3 point. The 14' was too short. I can fit 5 facecords in it with the standard 2 foot sides. I have squeezed 6 facecords in there a couple times, its high though 👍.
@@seather863 Thanks for the intel. As well as these things are selling, I’m strongly considering replacing ours. If I move it before the powder coat starts blowing off from it, we should get a decent price out of it. Now I just need to find what I need. I’m considering galvanized. I prefer black, but I’m not a fan of powder coat for longevity.
@@sawsurgeon Galvanized would be Great if you could swing it. I don't use mine in the winter with the salty roads of New York, plus I store it in my pole barn when I'm not using it.
The telescopic hoists are nice, they are slower but will lift damn near anything you can put in the trailer. I have a 14k 14' N&N gooseneck and its overloaded pretty much any time I put anything in it.
That's a nice trailer, I'm impressed with all of the zerk fittings: a trailer built for people who like to take care of their stuff. I have a 6-watt solar battery charger mounted on the top of the "toolbox" of my 12' 5-ton dump trailer, it's enough to ensure the battery is always "topped-up" and ready to go...not expensive, maintenance free, and the trailer doesn't have to be plugged-in or connected-up to anything to use the dump feature. And no, you don't need to live in Florida for a solar charger to function properly.
Hello from Chicago! Man that is some trailer, very nice! I live in that state where Governors like to take time outs after or during their terms, it's horrible.
The trailer company I am going with told me it's 3 months before it would ship.. Just haven't ordered it yet as I want to be sure I have all cash in hand.. Nicely done on the review.
@@InTheWoodyard : its made in Anaheim CA. Called Imago trailers I think it is a 8×10 will have two 5k axles and was looking at having a thicker floor put in just so it will handle the beating better than stock. This is the same trailer that my dad let's me use and he has been really happy with it.
When I was looking for a dump trailer back in 2014 I ended up going thru trailers direct in mt pleasant texas.. I got a 20 ft by the 84 inches with 4 ft sides for less than they wanted for a 14 ft dump trailer everywhere.. it's the factory that builds the big Tex trailers but anyone can buy direct.. something to look into anyways.. keep the chips a flying!!
@@andrewslagle1974 yes I have been very impressed with it. I have the 83x12 it has I beam construction love the aluminum ramps and the rear gate is super easy to use the design isthought out well! Only 1 dealer in Wisconsin. I had to drive 2 hours to get it!
2nd time watch this video. Some thoughts i had this time around. Safety chain for loading skid steer should be painted bright pink 😉 or orange or something and also chris when dumping the trailer outside the vehicle you should use wheel chocks to save on the transmission(truck rolling forward). The nitrogen in the tires is also supposed to be a bigger molecule than air so it won't leak out "as fast".
Good morning Chris and Tony!!😀😀 That is a really nice trailer. I wouldn't want to only have a half ton truck if I were to be hauling 2 full cords of wood in it. I'm going to get one like it one of these days but I would like a 14 foot long one so my tractor will fit in it. Chris, I don't believe that your tractor will fit in a 12 foot either. I measured my Mahindra and I need at least a 14 foot long and I do believe that you can't legally haul it in it because of the loader having to hang over one end or the other. That's why I'm probably going to keep my 30 foot goose neck for hauling my tractors around. I'm sure I could put your tractor and mine both on at the same time if we wanted. If you do get a new trailer don't sell your old one without letting me know. Take care my friends!!😀😀 Logger Al
Greetings Chris & Tony from S. E. Ohio. Really nice trailer, but personally I would prefer the scissor lift. It's more stable. And I'm not down grading Tony's trailer. And a stainless steel bed would be great but real pricey!!!! Well you guys have a great rest of the day
the telescopic lift is the way to go if using it heavy we had problems with the dual piston and scissor hoist types lifting loads it stinks to have to shovel off the front to get it to lift .the telescopic will lift any load you put on it that is the reason all commercial dump trucks use a telescopic lift ,its physics !
@@andrewslagle1974 yes big trucks use the telescopic hoists but the county highway I retired from starting using single scissor hoist. They are medium duty single axle trucks. Not saying this to argue. Just when you are moving down road spreading salt scissor is more stable. Yea just for dumping telescopic is great. Have a great day
Looks like Mr. Scheib Big Dump Trailer.🤣 Chris, you New Best Friend is Very Rich he has all the Toys! Tony put a small pc. of chain on the lid so it can't open it to far. Get one of those opener rods at the auto parts. That is a Very Nice Trailer. Hey Tony, get the trailer undercoated, it will last longer in your area do to salt and snow. I still have my First Holy Communion. My Mother always said put you money in the bank and never take it out. I'm Polish 🤣
Trailer time with Tony! I’m starting to wonder if Tony has everything. I’m also starting to wonder if he is just buying toys so you two can review them🤣 That’s the exact trailer I was looking at and then there was the shortage and it saved me 9k. Great review. Great big pile of jealousy over here. GNI
Tony must have a very understanding wife. He certainly has spent a boat load on tools and toys for his retirement. Tony will have to fab up an extension to his outfeed conveyor on his Axis splitter to load this dump trailer full of firewood.
It’s a beautiful trailer but I wouldn’t trade him for my galvanized 6x12 dump maxi-roule it’s been amazing because in Ontario they cover our roads in salt in the winter
@@InTheWoodyard yes Maxi-Roule made in Quebec Canada I bought mine 3 years ago for $7800 Canadian now they are $10,000 Canadian so around 8 k US plus taxes
Very nice trailer, I watch Stan The Dirt Monkey channel and he was at the factory to test how much the trailer could lift, he put 55k on a front ram and it lifted it till the battery died. Be sure to use the front safety chain when going down the road he was saying he seen the lift going down the freeway before, he own trailer lifted by it self in his yard
As always great job on the product I formation...Tony...lol I'm thinking your getting better then Chris on this stuff. I e been looking for a dump trailer and like everyone else looking to see what others have and how they like them...Sure Trac is one and Moritz the other but after watching this I'm thinking the Sure Trac is a better trailer
Good question, it is probably not the yards but the weight that matters more.....it is a 14k trailer with a dry weight of around 3k so 11k but can your truck handle it??? You might want to look up the Sure track web sight for specs??
Not a better trailer on the market. Telescoping piston is the way to go. I have SureTrack, PJ, Cam Superline and had Big Tex. SureTrack is the best of them all.
Very nice but the powder coat finish sucks . Anything I have that is powder coated chips up and rust in no time . Salty roads just eat stuff up here in Ohio , but what's a person to do ?
the powder coat peals off in sheets.The problem is that most trailers do not get primer under the powder coating first.The higher dollar companies use automotive paint with a proper primer under it but it all costs buy for price buy twice!
@@InTheWoodyard pay your selves. Hay silly goose start an Amazon store and start getting commission of all these things you push. Axes to apparel gas cans pumps boots etc. if your going to support it get paid. I bet if you took 12 pics of the woodyard snd made a calendar then sold shirts you couldn’t have a second trailer in a year from those two things alone. Have a great day and I miss cookie and woodie the lost kids of the wood yard.
One of the main reasons they put nitrogen in tires, is pressure! It maintains a constant pressure, the pressure stays the same. When tires heat up in hot weather, it builds pressure, with nitrogen it does not do that. That is why they use it in aircraft tires, changing altitudes. But on the other side, air is over 70% nitrogen to start with, so there your are! I hauled liquid nitrogen for over 33 years, in the liquid state, about 6500 gallons at a time. FYI it is -320 degrees in liquid state, and will burn you faster than fire!
i have a 7x14 and 2 cord stacked is 2.6 feet tall in a twelve foot foot it would need to be 3 feet tall. crazy that if you bought that trailer in 2020 it probably would have been 7000
Hey Chris baby nice video Tony seems like he's a nice guy I hope you have a trailer like him or he can let you borrow his text me back buddy God bless cheer s s
