Always went with Diamond C. This time to save some cash I considered others like Texas Pride but the quality isn't there. Sure Trac, Iron Bull, Midsota, Moritz, MaxxD etc are better but for a little more money you're way ahead getting a Diamond C. Got a 23' LPT on order with 7ga body in cement grey. The new features are just a bonus.
They're not 35 grand. A lot of the Diamond C dealers are price gougers but you have to shop around. I always go to a guy out of state. Yes, I have to drive a few hours but a dump trailer isn't something you buy every day. Got my 2023 LPT like this with a ton of options for $14,300. Bought my last Diamond C in 2020 and yes, the price has gone up but I priced out a shitty Texas Pride and to get just some of the options Diamond C makes standard I was over $13,000 for a comparable trailer. It was a no brainer to me.
@@grantgauvreau2744Pine View Trailer in Greenwich, Ohio. They are the best around at least east of the Mississippi. Worth the drive. Bought a 24’ LPT $14,300 out the door. Loaded up pretty good with options.
A few things looking at the Southland dump trailer that we don't care for. 1) C Channel construction that sits on top of a dump box. This is old school technology. We haven't carried dumps with a C Channel for years. I Beam is the way to go. 2) We HATE when companies put the tarp kit on top of the box like Load Trailer and Southland. This gets damaged when loading with a skidstreer. 3) Scissor lift. Again - old school tech. Telescopic is way better. 4) 10 GA floor is called out but not the side walls. This tells us that the side walls are 12 GA. WEAK! In conclusion, the Southland Trailer isn't even close to what this Diamond C trailer is.
