Cargo Unloader

[HD]

Have any of you had experience with one of these?

I have an old international pick up box trailer I'm going to try this with.
Between my 2 ponds, I have a road that is starting to deteriorate from beavers and muskrats digging holes. I'm thinking that I can use the tractor to get the dirt into the box, haul it down with the 4 wheeler and crank and dump.

never used one but I recall some folks looking into them some years ago.. never did hear how they worked out...  did you look up reviews???

the reviews don't look bad!!  and the different prices are nuts!!!  good luck!!!  should work...

Isn't that what Jr's for, and SIL!!

Seriously good luck, never seen that before, but I lead a sheltered life.

Welp, it's here....
From the reviews I've read, the slicker the surface underneath the better it works. I'm thinking about lining the box with plywood then a plastic tarp on top of that.

i just googled it.........never seen that before...........yea that should be the cats meow.!!!!!

good luck and hope it works good for ya!!!  too bad we aren't closer, I have a 4 by 8 by 1/8 inch sheet of plastic....  ya could have it..

 Thanks for the offer Mikey, that prolly would have  worked great.

I put it together and ran into a problem... The pickup box trailer tailgate is at 52 inches wide and the bearing mounts for the unloader is 58 inches. I'm probably going to have to find a piece of steel channel to go over the end of the tailgate to make it wider.

Always the case a guy tries to save a few bucks diy and then the wrench gets thrown in.,happens to me most often,your project and a landscape guy with 3 yard dump  a done deal,but its easy to say now.goodluck HD ya got all summer to fix it,maybe eradicate the rodents while your at it.

Not that easy. The dirt has to go a 1/2 mile back in the woods. I can't get a truck back there, I tried. I already have the dirt piled up... just gotta move it.

I get a load of dirt or gravel here now and then and I move lots of it in my little atv trailer behind my wheeler.  I shovel it all in and dump it wherever I need it.  Gets the job done and great tool to have around for other things too.  Maybe you already have one.

Welp, I got it mounted. I had a chunk of versa lam laying around, and used that to widen the tailgate. The tailgate needed to be thicker anyways.

Now I just got to try it out......

[mike89]

looks good HD!!!  hope it works as good as it looks!!!  good luck!!!

Can't wait to see how it works.  Good luck.  Looks great!
