I thought about it. But figured there are way more moving parts and weight than i want. The trailers i have used, (garden variety yard carts) all seem to dump at the worst possible time and place and on their own... I bolted the bed and tailgates solid after picking up way too many loads off the ground... Maybe the next trailer will dump
Bought 1 of these deer carts with that style axle on it this year.. what a dream up over small trees like nothing. I actually use it to pull wood out of peoples yards instead of tearing up there lawn with my truck
I this case, i went extreme duty+ ... ...because of the rocky terrain i haul over. this time the axle caught a rock and catapulted the trailer over. I'm probably going to make a tongue that swivels also to keep it from bending (or flipping the machine)
Walking beams are definitely the way to go if you're hauling in the woods a lot. I used to have a walking beam Country Manufacturing trailer and it was very handy. I wish I hadn't sold it.
I get a kick out of the fact that when a member does a project like this and gives such excellent description, that other hoarders flock to the thread like birds to a feeder. It has been really enjoyable to read and view this. TurboDiesel has done a fantastic job building this and thanks for the awesome job documenting it.
I have their log arch. (at 1:17 is where i rolled the trailer over.) The wheel-tires, spindles for the trailer came from Country Manufacturing (walt 's friend). Great people! I looked at their atv trailers also but wanted something a little smaller.
X3! And I'll add in that I know how much time fabricatuon work takes, to be done well anyways, and Tim got an impressive amount of work done in 4 hours!
Thanks for posting the video. The beam where the box will sit really stays quite level through all the rough terrain. Nice work.
