I intend to make another cross dump trl that'll piggyback on this one, and maybe another 3 or 4 more cross dumps in the future... it'll be great for long hauling, gravel my whole yard.

Yes, but with needle roller clutches... 8x8 going forward, 8x4 reverse

That's interesting. What about your trucks? Have they been retired after many years of service?

Looking good joe, you need a way to haul stuff and I need a way to load stuff. Lol!! Hope planting season has been good, two of our fields that a farmer is and panting have only been 2/3s planted. Lower parts are just too wet. Been one of the wettest years ever. I can't even get into the two fields to mow with the big tractor. Too soft and too deep.

Retired I suppose Emil, the small tired vehicles don't get around that well, and the capacity is much less than the Fumotec trks.

I updated my farmer thread last week Cooper... it was crazy wet 1st part of May, a lot of wheel slippage throughout seeding, got stuck bad at the end, now 6 weeks later it's crazy dry & my crop is coming up patchy b/c of excessive compaction during seeding & virtually no rainfall to keep the soil mellow... it's gonna be another yr of

Here's more progress for you Evan

















Get some 1 1/4" flat bar tomorrow to make the gates, plus another order of 1/4" square stock (5 joints) should arrive tomorrow to start making the next trl... took an entire 22 foot length of 1/4" to make this trl

A trip to the city on Saturday to the farmer sex shop to get tools & supplies for the Lil Giants shop & farm, I picked up this band saw on sell for $300, it'll make short work of cutting steel for the next 3-4 trls.



Even has an attachment for it to make it a vertical bandsaw

Looking good Joe, I'm curious how you are going to attach the gate and make it move with the actuonix actuators.

Looking good Joe. Most people don't realize how much material goes into building this stuff, especially any type of trailer! Are you coming out here in July?

About a month away, eh Reg? ...hadn't thought about it till now ...come hang with you this time or is Mario coming this yr?

I got to looking at my handywork with plastic sheet the next morning & 1st thought was what an incredible waste of space!!! cut my capacity in half.







Couple more roundy bits to make in the lathe & then see about how to make it all work with one actuator.

The trailer is turning out great Joe. Yes the show is on July 15-16 I believe. I may only attend on Saturday this year but we'll see how things are going in the shop.

In the last pic the trl is sitting on a 20L pail Evan, I'm betting it'll hold most of that. I made the height of the trl the same as the B50 adt so a loader can fill it, but I also plan to make 2" cheaters for more capacity with the hoe loading.

I guess we'll wait & see Reg...

Relying on just 8wd drive Kent? ...hoping two more trls, started on two at once again yesterday... if not, add more powered axles.

Farted away the afternoon putting together the rear of the trl & trying to get two rx's to bind together... started with an AR8000 & AR610 (both DSMX), didn't work. Then tried the AR6115e with the AR8000, didn't work. Two AR8000's together, that worked... though that seems like kind of a waste... I came across some good deals on ebay last February, picked up AR9020's, AR8000's & AR610's for 40-70% off from hobbyshop listed prices.
