The Farmer's Best Friend-The Dump Trailer
Copyright (c) 2008-2023 Jim Farmer
There are some fundamental truths about farming: It is arguable the most important industry in today’s world, its time demanding and both physically and mentally challenging. So taking advantage of anything that helps in their day-to-day routine is critical for both profit and saving time.
And one way a farmer can maximize his time is with the use of a hydraulic dump trailer. Dump trailers are a standard piece of equipment for today’s most successful farms because they can transport a host of items quickly and efficiently. Dump Trailers are not only easy to maneuver but can also adjust to accommodate numerous tasks. For example, when hauling Square Bales, a farmer can leave his skid steer in the field after loading several bales onto a dump trailer, efficiently transport the bales, then return and repeat process more efficiently than using more cumbersome traditional equipment.
Here are just a few ways farmers are using Hydraulic dump trailers today:
* Hauling Grain, Beans, Corn, Oats, etc.
* Hauling skid steers (low profile 82” wide).
* Hauling construction materials, such as fencing, hay, and fill dirt.
* Hauling sawdust to line stalls
* Efficient Transfer of Round Bale and Square Bales
* Hauling firewood, coal, and gravel
* Cleaning fences
* Efficient Hauling of Silage
And to help perform these tasks dump trailers have helpful options such as (options were samples taken from Appalachian Trailers):
* Removable sides for easy loading/unloading
* Aluminum ramps for loading skid steers
* Spare tire mounts
* Taller sides to meet customized needs
* Gooseneck, pintle ring or coupler
* Coal door in tailgate
* Wood or metal sides
* Radial Tire Upgrades
* Deckover and Low Profile Models
* Stake pockets and rubrail
These features make it easy to customize to your workflow as well as assist with any physical limitations to help maximize time, energy and ease of work. Dump Trailers can also be manufactured to fit your needs based on how much you are planning to use the trailer. Below is a list of components based on usage:
Limited Usage Components:
* Double Eye Spring Suspension
* Bias Tires
* Top Wind Jack
* Fixed A-Frame Coupler
* Up to 12k GVWR
Daily Usage Components:
* HD Slipper Spring Suspension
* Radial Tires
* HD Drop Foot Jack
* Adjustable Coupler or Gooseneck Hitch
* 10-16K+ GVWR
And perhaps the best part of implementing a dump trailer is the cost-effectiveness.
Jim G. Farmer is an avid trailer follower and has close ties with the trailer manufacturing industry. This article was inspired after reviewing products from Appalachian Trailers of Ohio and PA and Kaufman Trailers of NC and NE.

The camber kit in your car's suspension system adjusts the angle
of your tires, and increases the size of your tire footprint -
how much of each tire comes into contact with the pavement. If
you lower your car without installing a camber kit, there are
some major handling problems that will arise. While street racers
and low-rider buffs are the people who could use the camber kit
most often, everyday drivers often consider it to be an
economical safety improvement for their vehicles.

An alternator is one of the most commonly dysfunctional auto
parts. Without a properly functioning alternator, your car will
simply refuse to run. A faulty alternator can leave you stranded,
but luckily, a low-performing alternator often shows warning
signs that indicate its malfunction before it ceases to work.
Being able to recognize these warning signs, and knowing what to
do next, may prevent you from getting caught in an inconvenient
or dangerous situation.

The stock exhaust on many cars is far more restrictive than it
needs to be. Many years ago people seeking improved power and
performance learned that they could achieve both by adding a
larger, less restrictive exhaust system to their vehicle. Not
only do new exhaust systems provide increased power, they can
also generate that sound that many automotive enthusiasts like to
hear from their vehicle.
