Subject: RE: highway dump trailer convert to use farm tractor to pull grain


The scope on that trailer is probably not so large where it's only a 20' trailer. Probably take in the range of 15 gal of oil. I know the M130 requires 9 gal. That's probably about a M160 or so. Just the same... that's cutting it close on your tractor's hydraulic capacity. Probably best to build a wetline into the dolly. Single axle dolly should be fine. Might want to rig up some kind of air supply too or else rig some small hydraulic cylinders to activate the brakes on the trailer. No way I'd want a 20' trailer like that behind a 100 hp tractor around here with no brakes. It's on thing to take 15 ton on a fully trailed rig that's giving you drawbar weight; quite another where it's all on the trailer and dolly. Get your dolly set so it bears down heavy on the tractor as well...
