Dump Trailers.....best one for the money??
« on: July 05, 2018, 08:36:31 PM »
OK....so I have done some research and am looking into buying a dump trailer.  Which brand / make is the best???  Anything I should be looking for specifically in the build?  What do you have and do you like it?  Scissor hydrolic lift or?? 

I am looking for a minimum 12-14 foot and maybe a 16 footer. 

Also best place to buy one?

Thanks

Thanks, checking them out now.  Really like the 8x14 with drop down sides.  I just messaged Luft for a quote.

This for sure. I have a 14" 14k Big Tex that I picked up used for $5800 but if was purchasing new it would be a C&B. Little things like where their D rings are welded and factory rear stabilizers for loading are well thought out.

Been using the heck out of my in laws 14ft Big Tex. Hauling 5 yards of rock at a time with it. Always performed great. It did have the solinoid go out on the hydraulics once, which was a quick fix.

My neighbor had to do a lot of repairs on his friends Big Tex. He just bought an Iron Bull. We think its built a lot stronger and has some great amenities built in.

I have an Iron Bull 14' and love it. Well thought out design and heavy duty. I haul garbage, wood, tractors, material, gravel, you name it. I liked the PJ and Iron Bull when I was looking but the Iron Bull was quite a bit cheaper and looked to be a little more solidly built. I've had Big Tex trailers before and their paint job sucked on mine. My Iron Bull looks like new except for inside the box.

Update for those looking at trailers.  I ended up buying a 16 foot MaxXD 7x14 14K trailer.  14 ply tires, spare w/mount on the trailer, tarp kit, cold weather kit, led light package, loading jacks on rear, 10K front jack, 2 way gate and all 10 gauge steel (deck and sides) with 12 inch spacing / brace on length of bead. 

All in all, it appears to be a very sturdy, well built trailer.  Couldn't find many bad reviews so decided what the heck....let do it.  Tax, license, and all the extras cost me 10K.  base trailer was 8500.  When looking at tall the others it seams like a very reasonable price.  I will post pics tomorrow.

This is the brand I ended up with, you'll love it. The only thing I would have done different would be, a 16'  we got the 14' when I went to haul hay it was about 12" short of being able to get one more row of bales. But so far that's my only.complaint.

Not 100% sure,  It is said to be a cold weather light / light harness package.  I wouldn't have upgraded to this, but they had two trailers on the lot, on beefed up with lots of extras.  I bought that one because the price was the same as the one without the extras.  I would assume better wiring harnesses that are sealed and better protected to freezing conditions.
