    91ED7262-4F2F-419B-AD8D-37AE5792E5E9.jpeg I just modified our new Delco Trailer’s trailer with little ramps just in front of the back cargo rings. First loads would hang up and bridge splits almost to to top front side of the bed. It was not safe to grab a keystone split and try to make it all fall. It works so good it dries my tears from sanding through the perfectly new powder coat to weld the ramps on. And it safer. Be safe my friends.

    Too bad it would not dump it stacked! That was a beautiful load of stacked wood turned into a pile. :(
    Glad it works as planned.

    Stacked is the only way to get 9.5 cu yards of firewood in it. It takes me and two kids about 70 minutes to load it like that.

    I’ve been thinking about putting D rings in my dump. I was thinking of mounting them down low on the side in hopes they were less in the way of dumping loads. Either way that’s a great fix for the problem. Good thinking. I’ll keep that in mind.
