| Does anyone know who makes a trailer like this in the US? This brand is made in Canada, i'm looking for something similar but maybe 12,000 - 15,000 lb capacity. New or used is fine. Thanks

MidSota trailers - Avon Mn, makes them and has been making them for many, many years (previously, under the Sands trailer brand). http://www.midsotamfg.com/pages/OffHighway-FarmDumpTrailers
Here's the other guy, up the road a bit further, that makes a similar farm rock trailer also . . . http://stcloud.craigslist.org/grq/4214935986.html
Keep in mind, most of these trailers originated for hand picking rocks - so they are more low profile, for the kids (if you can find them) to get those rocks over the edge.

| We made our own. Took an old dump truck, cut out the eng/trans, cab and made a hitch. Rigged up a PTO shaft and it works great. Don't have a picture right now. |

These are mostly meant to pull behind a truck but they would probably have a clevis hitch available.

Westside, IA | Made my own, old cabover IH straight truck frame. 18'X8' box with 4ft tall sides, 1/4" plate for the floor 3/16" for the sides. Use it mainly for hauling old concrete but also works good for stockpiling manure or hauling gravel.

IL | I made my own as well. Removed the cab, engine, trans, & front axle from an old dump truck and folded the frame together. I added an I beam between the motor mounts as a cross member and another I beam perpendicular to the new cross member coming forward to mount my hitch to. I extended the hoses and added the right ends for the cylinder (used 2 because on the truck it used the down stroke side as a reservoir and didn't want to run the tractor dry). I also added a small cylinder to gate latches so I can control the gate from the tractor cab.
iseedit what is the idea for the PTO, some kind of power assist in soupy ground?

central - east central Minnesota - | I didn't post the pic's and info on the PTO home made jobber . . . . I would guess, PTO to run self contained unit. This would elemanate contimanating the tractors hydraulic system. There are lots of truck hoist, that do not run tractor hydrualic fluids. |
|

|
IL | I understand that then. I worked my bed up and down with the bobcat with the hoses off to get as much of the old fluid out of the cylinder as possible then stuck a long air gun in to blow the rest out. I've seen 5-6 old grain trucks turned into trailers like this and never could understand the transmission hooked to the PTO. I suspected that the truck didn't put out near the pressure as a tractor hydraulics so they were afraid of blowing the packing out of the cylinder. |

Nova Scotia | most are hooked to pto pump due to your tractor does not have enough oil to push up a larger 4 stage hoist. |
