I've seen several on here recently, in the midwest very inexpensive, and was really interested in them for use on the horse farm, but what I was wondering is, what was the purpose of these originally, assuming they are used to haul light material like grain ? I've been composting the manure at the place and need an inexpensive means to haul the fresh manure several hundred yards to another location away from the barn so I can work the piles with the loader, would one of these operated from the remote hydraulic of a 33 HP Challenger tip a load of manure off ? Not sure what arrangement would work, but they sure look to fit the bill, as the manure is sawdust based, usually light and I'm on flat ground. I see they have a high center of gravity, so a heaped load may not be a good idea, but even struck, it looks like they hold a fair amount, I've noticed sizes vary. For the prices of what these go for it seems they are inexpensive, I know I really need a single axle dump, but that is what the compost will eventually pay for, and is out of reach at the moment as I need to get a decent one I could run on the road, but thought a dump wagon may do the job in the interim. Any comments highly appreciated, thanks !
