Been doing a lot of pondering on how to fab up the hyd dump on the new wood hauler. Started out with using one or two old SA cylingers off an old loader that I had. then my focus turned to an old 4x36" DA cylinder that was on the first wood splitter that I built. Dad ran it for years until the I beam rails wore out and the wedge came of and bent the cylinder rod. I salvaged the old DA cylinder that had sat in the woodshed of the saphouse for probably 20yrs and finally got it pulled it apart with my trackhoe and straightened the cyl. rod. My good friend Jon-MN and I have been discussing posabilities and he gave me some sugestions so That I can get 6' of lift from the 3' cylinder. Original plan was a deadman on trailer toung and pully on clevis of cylinder rod, and then attachment point to bottom of dump body, connected with a cable. The problem was that the hyd hose ports were pointing forward and the cable would be interfearing with the fitting and hoses. I ended up deciding to use #50 roller chain instead of cable and fastened the deadman bracket to the top of the cyl. so the pipeing and hoses are free from the chain, plus it will take half as much chain. After fabing the deadman bracket to conform to the outside of the cylinder, it will be welded to the top of the cyl. I remenbered that I had some HD bearings stashed away so I dug them out and built a "toggle bracket with 2 of the bearings for the chain to feed over the rod clevis as the cyl extends. With this design the bottom of the body will be raised 6' when the cyl is fully extended, rather than just 3' if the cyl. was directly connected to the body. Loren

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
