Ultimate Dump Trailer - MAXXD 6x12 + Trailer Buying Tips (Hauling Firewood, Rock, & Round Bales) 

Thanks man! Enjoy your new dump trailer! You will be using that thing all the time.

Yes, you're pretty close on those weights. When getting this trailer I knew I would try to get a truck that had a little bit more capacity for my next truck. For now this does everything I need to do. I love this trailer!

@@OldSchoolMillennial and that is super smart because I am already growing out of my 5x10 -7k and i have only had it for 6 months, Lol. The volume isn't enough even with the sides built up.

Haha, I'll do you one better, I'll trade you my trailer for your wood stash!

I haven't tried square bales yet but I'm sure it you could get close by calculating. This is a 6x12 trailer, I'm sure you can stack two and probably even 3 high. So far I've just been grabbing two round bales for my cows each time. My dad has a flatbed that I borrow sometimes but I find that this trailer works for me about 99% of the time for what I'm doing.

You're going to love your trailer. With the Kioti and a dump trailer you can handle most jobs that come your way.

Thanks for watching!

I know the feeling! I can't imagine life without this trailer now. Life is much easier with a dump trailer!

I have a Kioti 2610. I would suggest at least a 14' trailer, if not longer. Though a 6x12 can fit, it is not ideal for positioning the tractor for hauling, and you can just barely fit. I would go measure your tractor and whatever implement you are hauling and see how long it is. I'm not sure if this is what you wanted to hear, but I want to help.

6K axles.

@@OldSchoolMillennial don’t see too many 6k axels

Thanks man! It's amazing the number of uses you can find for these trailers!

Yes, you're right I used the wrong word. I should have said tailgate. I was referring to the fact that the trailer has a hinge on the tailgate to allow it to dump just a little bit of rock at a time. Good catch.

It's a really nice feature, for sure.

Thanks, Shannon! I think the time I shot this video during the day made it seem darker. Yes, this is a Kioti.

Depending on the van and how much you have loaded it may have the capacity. You need to check what your GVWR is on your van. However, you need to be sure to check your state DOT laws for hauling. Every state is different, but in several states if you haul more than 26,000 you need a CDL. Be sure to check those things first, you definitely don't want to overload it.

Yes, The main thing to check is what your truck gvwr can handle. If you're looking to do bigger jobs you may look at a 14'. I went with higher capacity and smaller for maneuverability. Also, I bought this trailer knowing that I plan to get a higher capacity in the next few years.

Yes, this trailer tows great! It's all about the weight distribution. You just have to be sure to have a trailer that has an adjustable height at the tongue or a weight distributing hitch. Good luck with your search!

​@Old School Millennial what is the width of your tractor? I want a 6' wide trailer, but the equipment I plan to haul is 58" wide, max 71" wide...

You will love your new trailer! And use it for many years to come!

Thanks, man. I'm loving it! Yea, I'm a chevy man. I came by it honest.

Thanks! Yes it did. That is definitely a must for a dump trailer.

Thanks!

This is a half ton but I'm looking at 3/4 tons. It's just hard in today's truck market.

You'll have to check with your closest dealer to get the current cost. I bought this one a couple of years ago.

I actually purchased this dump trailer with mainly maintaining my property in mind. Making money with it is definitely a bonus. If I were buying one to make a living with I would start slow and take side jobs on the weekends and let it grow bigger from there. There is a bunch of videos like that on RU-vid that I have seen and people have made great money dumping rock, select fill, firewood and being a hotshot for hire. One thing for sure, be sure to cash flow everything so that you can get profits sooner.

@@OldSchoolMillennial thanks brother.

I think you’ll want a bigger truck if you plan to use it for business... To be legit/legal
