They Turned A 40 Year Old Chevy Truck Into 16 Ft. Dump Trailer
 ✖  |
We turned a 40-year-old Chevy truck into a 16-ft. dump trailer that can carry a load of 15 tons. The tandem axle trailer dumps hydraulically, powered by tractor hydraulics. The front of the truck frame was formed into a drawbar hitch. To handle the heavy trailer, we built a special drawbar hitch for the tractor that links to the top link of the 3-pt. The top link runs down to the hitch to provide extra support.
The trailer was built for a land excavating company. (Lyle Bruns, RR2, Box A1, Tower Hill, Ill. ph 217 567-3674)
