The Farmer’s Best Friend-The Dump Trailer

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 Round 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:

• Removable sides for easy loading/unloading
• 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.
