I don't have a dump on mine and have felt no need for one. Last thing I want to do with a load of splits is dump them on the ground - I'll just have to pick them all up off the ground again. I pile right from the trailer onto pallets. Doing splits, it takes 5 loads per cord. So I guess that means mine is 25 cu.ft.. Could maybe get more on if I round it up some.

I do have another piddley little lawn mower tub trailer with a dump on that I use once in a while if I have stuff I want to dump, like some dirt. But it's pretty lightweight & not good for much weight.

..I don't only use it for splits...I haul hay, manure, logs, gravel and small field stones..

I only transport splits when I have to split on site due to size of logs or steep location..have lots of that...no one likes to handle splits more than twice...I use pallet racks for all my splits with forks on my tractor...
the dump is important for us anyway...livestock needs..
 
Tractor Supply has a 4x6 with mesh floor(I added a sheet of OSB), a real hitch, lights for road use and real wheels and tires.

Works great behind my quad and I can use it to haul the bike too. No walking beam though :(
 
I picked up this Agri-Fab for 200 bucks off of CL. Then a few weeks later, I spotted a Bosski 1600 for1500 bucks. Kicking myself not buying it.

Thread resurrection.

It finally got dry enough to try the Mountain Goat out. It worked great for what I needed - threading through the woods to scrounge a pile that the loggers left by accident. I'll be thinning the wood lot in the future - so this will come in handy for that.

It tracks well. It climbs over big rocks and stumps. Need to make some rack sides so I can increase capacity...

Lookin good, Knots After months of looking for the right deal, I scored a military M101A2 for $500. I had been looking for one already with a PA title as they are a pain in the butt to get tags for here. Just put a new set of lights on it and good to go. This will be used for behind the truck, has a pintle hitch. I have a small Bantam I use for the quad. Already hauled 4 yards of mulch in it, springs were on the bump stops.

Oh man - that's nice. If there's one thing the military knows, it's Heavy Duty. You should be able to toss splits in that thing. A lot of them...
