500 BU Semi-Trailer Dump Box Unloads Bean Meal Easier

500 BU Semi-Trailer Dump Box Unloads Bean Meal Easier TRUCKS Conversions 15-2-34 My 500-bu. semi-trailer dump box unloads bean meal easier than a hopper bottom wagon. I built the 20-ft. dump trailer out of a junked straight truck and pull it behind my semi-tractor. The frame, box and hoist were salvaged as a single unit from a truck with a bad engine. I fitted it with a king pin plate, landing gears, and tandem axles with air brakes, all of which were taken from a junked semi-trailer. I put quick couplers on hydraulic lines running to the hoist.
