Yep,I went out today and used 2x4s to mock up angles (my trig stink's). Sure enough 30 degree tilt will hit the ground in rear and require 26 inches of cylinder stroke. 30 deg is approaching an ecceptical angle but 26" stroke I can't handle. I've watched CraigsList for a month without seeing a scissor for sale and I'm not spending new price for one. Chances are if I found a scissor it would weigh as much as the frame and I need this thing light enough to push out of the way by hand. Overall empty weight is why I'm trying to use the single frame tilt rather than stacked frames needed for a scissor bed. I believe diy dump information is hard to find because of liability issues. It's the same way if you want to know how much steel members can support under different conditions. You need only to park a factory build trailer beside a shop build to see how over built the shop build is. Most of our farm trailers were shop built resulting in us pulling extra weight every where we go. My nephew's factory trailer he pull's the Bobcat on look's flemsy beside the other trailers that were shop built. Anywho,I've read enough horror stories about twin cylinders on sides that I havn't considered those eventhough they are simple to set up. And the head scratching continues.
