The Pros & Cons 👉 6x10 Hydraulic Dump Trailer (After 2 Years of HARD Landscaping) | $6,400 MISTAKE?? 

I got my Big Tex 14k 14x7 trailer almost 2 years ago as well. A dump trailer is a must in this business. I think getting a mini skid steer would be a great idea. I bought my ditch witch sk800 just over a year ago and that thing has made my life soooo much easier. We hardly ever even shovel material by hand anymore. I will dump 5 plus yard of soil or bark and we just use the mini skid to load up wheel barrows to bring the material wherever we want. That way we don't have to worry about damaging lawns or leaving track marks or whatever. Two guys with wheel barrows and 1 guy on the mini and we can load and spread a 5 yards an hour of mulch or soil.

This like pimp my ride for landscapers!!!

Highly recommend spending $2000 more on these trailers. Gravity down, doors that automatically lock once opened, 14ft minimum to haul heavy equipment. PJ and Moriz seem to make the best ones. I have PJ myself.

I bought my 6x10 pj dump last year and I love it. It's a single axle with a ramp gate so it's also great for loading and unloading equipment. It hauls my garden tractor with loader(800 lbs) no problem, however I will need something bigger for bobcats and excavators.

You haye came a long ways in your business.. Good job Keith.🏴‍☠️

Very entertaining video, as well as educational! I have seen a lot of trailer review videos, but i have never been as entertained and laughed as much as i have by this one. You are quite the character (in a good way) and you bring so much energy and passion to what you do! Keep it up Keith! Appreciate you!

never thought id enjoy watching a dump trailer video but i did!

Keith is the Gary Vee of the landscape industry. Full of knowledge and energy.

Good video thanks for the confidence. Waiting on my 16 ft for our tree business near Lansing

I bought a 16 ft with 4 ft sides mainly for doing leaves but I have found myself using it for everything. I love it.

Looking to purchase a dump this is exactly what I needed, only 1500s here. Very well thought out on setup.

8:10 You had me good! I thought it was all over! 😂😂😘

Love the set up. You probably already know this. We work off our dump trailers, scoop gravel right out of the trailer in to wheelbarrows - easier than scooping off the ground. As you empty out, you can close the gates and dump to bring the gravel closer to the back. It can strain the gates but better than scooping off the ground. Just a thought. I can see why you would dump though, if you’re doing more than 2-3 yards at a time. Love the videos. KG lawn Care ATX

Lol I watch all kinds of reviews on equipment pretty much daily and this was by far the best! I almost thought I was watching MTV Cribs but it was my buddies crib. Hahaha great entertainment and still informative.

This video is hilarious. I love you Keith.

Badass kalfas get it bro!!

Your killing it my man!! Great video

All the details matter. And make work more efficient. Keep inspiring dawg!

Yes you do want the removable sides

Awesome insight brother. Thanks for sharing.

I'm rebuilding my 2006 Chubbs 12' dump trailer. Decided to use expanded metal to build tool (shovels, rakes etc) baskets on the main frame. Keeps tools secure and out of site. The only downfall I've thought of so far is you have to raise the dump body to gain access to the tools, not a big deal for us.

I'm a general contractor but enjoy watching all the videos!

Hey Keith, love your videos Man! Please do a video about insurance. God bless!

trailers dope. nice setup dude

That was funny at the end bro lol 😂

Shout out to the "Ames rakes" from home depot lol, I love those, because they're cheap and when they break, you can literally take them back and get new ones for free, because of they're lifetime warranty, at least for me in California

Thank you for being real sir

Sides look awesome! Great size on the signs

Michigan guy here too and just bought a trailer myself!

ive been looking to get a dump trailer for a while, yet just didnt have the extra cash for it. yet recently my business has gotten real busy and i finally am getting one.. its being built and will be ready in a few days... getting a 6x10 2 ft high sidewalls and upgraded the gate to lift so i can spread rock/dirt/mulch. and putting wood sidewalls up. i really liked the sidewalls your friend had on his trailer gate from almost 2 years ago when you first got your trailer.. (the video when ur trailer battery was dead) i plan on installing a winch on to it yet unsure as to where is going to be the best location. have you used yours where its sitting now? i was thinking best spot would be where you have your " foot gap" up front. if you cut out a notch in the wood for the winch. i also have a 52 inch light bar im getting free to review im going to put on the top of the wood in front so i can shine into back of trailer or flip it over and shine to front of trailer. i have been following you for so many years and have learned so much from you and have gained a lot of confidence in myself and my company. started doing windows and accidently found my self doing lanscaping, yet then found it myself branching into many different services to fill the void between jobs, then adding new services just to have constant work durring my winter months. thank you for being here learning as you go and sharing your adventure and letting us join with you ..

When are you pulling the trigger on a mini skid steer?!? We have almost doubled in business with drainage; irrigation, grading/reseeding, stone ect! Great video. We have 6x12 suretrac dump and need a dump insert or another HD 7x16 dump

I've watched this several times thinking about getting me a dump trailer this year but I also have the same size truck so looking to get a 10 foot trailer also.

Sweet.that solar .idea..likey" likey'

Sum trailor that boss very lucky man I hope I get just 10 percent of your success bro it’s dope been you hahahah legend keith

Good video Man 👍

Love me some Double K, 3:50 LMAO

Fire video🔥🔥🔥You got link for that solar panel charger by chance?

I just got my 14' trailer 2 days ago. Looked at 10' trailers, they were 5,400Lbs axles. So 10,800 GVWR - weight of the trailer, gives about 7,500 usable weight. All 12, 14 & 16-foot trailers I looked at had 7,000Lbs axles, which means that the GVWR doesn't change and it capped at 14,000Lbs. What does change is the usable weight. A longer trailer means a heavier trailer; meaning, less usable weight. Unless you going to tow lightweight or loose stuff like mulch, leaves, or dry snow where you need more volume rather than towing weight, anything solid, like dirt, compost or gravel, will get you way overweight before you get your trailer full. For that reason, I stuck with 14' box. BTW, I love your front inside the storage area. That's smart because you can't see tools from outside (less likely to get stolen), and you're shifting your weight over to back more, which helps with dumping. Yes, we both know to keep the proper ratio of tongue weight.

Yeaaaa dawg!!! 😂💪

buy the dingo or a bobcat man.. i been watching your videos since the beggining.. i never had shit when i watched your videos.. know i have a 2018 duramax still paying but makes me money. 2 - 12 ft big tex 14k dump trailers paid off and 2 bobcats one is a mt55 and the other is a s510 paid off. i come back every month man and keep learning from you and chant and stanley.

Nice setup Keith

Hey keith can you do a house tour video so we can see what working landscaping can get you home wise??

I jst got a dump insert for my truck and omg idk how I went on without it in 3 days I've used it everyday more then a col times makes it so I can do multiple jobs a day and not have to take 2 hrs to unlaod

Very nice

Love your videos Brother ! youll never know the effect youve had on a generation of small buisiness owners, your early videos are some of the realist snapshots of actual trials and tribulations consider you a brother from another mother lol

im getting a dump truck next year im tired of a trailers! whats your thoughts on paver patios?

I just picked up a gooseneck 16k 14x7 with 3ft sides that are flared to 8ft from Texas pride and I absolutely love it! But like you said, I wish it was 2ft longer!😅

Two best things I ever bought for my landscape business. Dump trailer and Kubota tractor with a loader and a whole bunch of attachments..... I have never had to charge my dump trailer in 3 years. It's wired into my 7-pin wire harness to automatically charge off of the truck

Great video. Sounds like mtv house tours😂

I just upgraded to a 3500 HD and a 7*14 ,4 foot wall dump trailer.

10k or 7k? Do you know the empty weight? Thinking about getting one for my ram 1500 also.

Watsup Keith, i do lots of softwashes now and some edgetrim and trees, some time i paint balconies and clean windows and gutters but i think the softwash side will take over soon its been one year out of five since i started them and their allready half of my jobs(the softwashes). I like them i can make estimates from google most of the time and dont care about rain so much and they are easy and quick and pay good if you have a few in one day, I can make 1200$ in like 4hours with out a sweat... You inspired me a great deal bro and still... Thks

Ahhh shit dawg it’s stuck down in there now 😂🤣☠️ I think working with you would be comical lol good times!

At 8:18, the shiz got so real🤣🤣🤣 like to hell with the video

Keith man i want to ask u some questions on how to start bussiness like getting llc and stuff

kalfatron . if had to have a boss you look like you would be a lot of fun to work with all the clowning i definitely would get my 15 laughs in a day. peace .

5x10 Lamar 7,000 single axle here and I like it. New $7,200

Great video Bro, I have own a trailer for 8 yrs and when I started I was just like you I added too many extras to my trailer but soon after I realized that all those extras obstructed the main purpose of the trailer, I bet that the winch on the front won’t let you open the tail gate right? And if you use the trailer very often I’m pretty sure you soon will accidentally step of those solar panels On the wood walls just run one 2x12 board or 2 max that will make your life easier and you trailer more accessible. Don’t get me wrong I like your enthusiasm but like I said I did all that too. Great job on your videos.

Don't worry too much about your half ton pulling a 12' dump trailer. My dad had an 05 Silverado SS that pulled his 12' Kaughman dump trailer for years. He loaded it with shingles, dirt, rock, anything and it pulled his trailer great. You do need to be a little mindful if hauling heavy stuff, but don't worry too much. Looks great though. These newer half ton trucks especially will haul way more, especially with trailer brakes than most give them credit for.

To my knowledge, generally if the A frame is longer it's so that you have as minimal tongue weight as possible. That's from what I was told.

Come on man im not trynna see a ad of yourself. before your video let a alone a 11 minute when this videos 9 minutes long. Now I have my wife asking me how i was 20 minutes on a 9 minute vid. 🤣

do you think a dump truck or dump insert in a 3500 series truck would be better for lawn maintenance guys? If i bring my MT85 (dingo style) somewhere i use a flat deck trailer and have to make a second trip to bring the dump trailer.

How many Volts is that trickle charger to the battery of dump trailer?

Lol nice editing "bla bla bla" haha. I dig this guy's personality

Nice review! Thanks . I got a 14’ foot Cam Superline Dump Trailer too and I carry my backhoe with it. I have a video on my new RU-vid channel on how I carry my backhoe . They’re awesome.

i heard you say Rochester and Clinton township, are you in Michigan?

I got mine same time! Mine is a 12ft and I use it to haul my mini x, mini skid, skidsteer ect.

I absolutely hate power down

You did Chant wrong with that impression....his voice is _much_ higher 😂😋

Just this week I bought a 6x12 dump trailer. Can't wait to see how much time it saves vs. Shoveling rock/soil/debris either in or Out of my Tundra! Time to get serious.

How long of a bed can I get if I have a 2020 Silverado 1500? thank u

With your 1500How much material can you put in your trailer before your truck squats

8:08 I died laughing. Hate shit like that. The worst is forgetting to latch your hitch and driving a mower up the ramp in a hurry. Worst teeter totter ever!

You forgot to show us whats in the refrigerator 😆😆👌

The ending made the video

Nice sign. But LADDER BLOCKS THE NUMBER THOUGH 👏🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Keith, how does the solar pannel charge? Which one do you use and how fast does it charge?

What kind of stone is that ? That you dumped in the driveway in the beginning of the video .... Thanks

Might want to dump on matts, boards or tarps..I damaged a drive once...it was an expensive lesson. I now have in contract a release of damages. I want dump trailer...💖

Gotta get the equipment that works for you. Always leave room to grow, but nothing wrong with buying tools that suit your niches. One size does not fit all.

What work boots do you have? They look really good.

Threw my bacl out ..didn't have Jack.

Keith, what boots are those you got on? I've been thru a ton man but none that last even one season. Timberlands lasted the longest so far. I'm thinking spend the money on the brand, "Whites". Used them once for wildland firefighting and they could take a beating.

That trailer hold 10 yards of mulch with those high sides?

What solar panel charger is that?

What year ford u got bro pulling it

What brand is it dual cilinder I belive is better

8:11 Totally candid moment ahaha

Yo man did you make that solar box or buy it? I use battery operated tools as well

What material is the sign on dump wall ?

I like 10 foot dump trailers, especially since it would fit in my driveway. I might go with a 6x12 and build the sides up as high as possible. My 16 foot utility trailer is great for hauling large amount of debris, until it comes time to unload it. I look like an idiot pulling limbs out by hand next to other guys with their dump trailers.

Down the road look into an Isuzu NPR, they're compact and easy to operate plus no hassle with a trailer! Also great for landscaping.

Has anyone used a dump Cart ( such as gorilla cart or other brands) in there landscaping business what are the pros and cons? I’m considering buying one.

Is this your only trailer or do you still have your enclosed trailer as well?

A couple of the trailer tires are bald as F, the other two are close.... Are you wanting slicks for better cornering on the hot days? Also you should build a small treehouse on top of the trailer sides, i cracked up when the trailer jack came apart, best laugh of the day!

im in ohio if i buy one of these can you help me find work ?

I notice you keep mentioning the dingo , its a big purchase but it saves your back when you get jobs that have the room for it

Even pulling shit out off the back of your truck was fine you gotta start somewhere right

I want one, but those trailers get stolen left and right. You literally need a yard with three mastiffs to guard them.

Is your truck a 1500?
