Dump Trailer Review /Weight vs Volume / 125
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 08. 2024
- Today I'll use my dump trailer to haul road rock and compost. In todays video we compare weight vs volume and what the Doolittle dump trailer can safely haul.
Once you purchase a utility dump trailer, you'll wonder how you ever got along without a dump trailer. I believe the Doolittle utility dump trailer is the best high quality trailer and is going to be a good investment for me. This is a good trailer for a landscaping business, small construction business or around the farm.

Hey Bill , Your Channel just showed up... I retired at 51 on 10/31/17.😊
State Employee and USN prior to that.... I miss the comraderi and about 10-15 co-workers but nothing else.... Everyday is a Saturday and between Hunting/Fishing chainsaws , wood splitting , tinkering in the Barn I'm pretty Blessed... New subscriber today.. Congrats!!!👍👍
Happy Retirement at 51......congratulations to you! I too miss the people I worked with and the 106 direct report employees....well ...most of them. Winter has me idled for now, I can't wait for warmer weather to get here so I can get going again. Enjoy your retirement my friend.
Thanks for subscribing, I sure appreciate that. - Bill
Nice tip on the overhead wires 👍
Gary. I knew an acquaintance who came in the contact with power wires using a ladder, of course he was killed and never forgotten that. -Bill
@@billburkhart Morning Bill . Just seen on utube that you guy's just had a tornado go through Iowa . Hope you guys are safe and sound down there. That must be scary. Stay safe and keep us updated.
Good morning Gary. Thanks for checking in on us. We’re all safe and sound. We live along the Mississippi River and the terrain is very hilly. That seems to keep tornados away from us. If you go 25 miles West, it’s a different story as the land levels out and tornados seem to be able to form.
Thanks again and enjoy your weekend-Bill
That was funny at 1st and nice looking core attachment
Thank you mark, appreciate you taking time to comment.
Great video Bill, that topdresser is sweet 👍🏻. Happy retirement Bill, it’ll be 3 yrs for me and loving it. Have a great week 🙂🙋🏼♂️👍🏻
Thanks you friend, have a great week also.
Thanks for sharing !
You’re welcome Cory!
Nice information
Congrats on retirement Bill. I really enjoy your videos. I have been looking at some dump trailers myself.
Hello MMS, thank you!, good luck with your search for a new trailer. Have a great week.
Hi Bill. Like your videos a lot. Keep them coming. From Shefford , Québec ,Canda
Thank you Rejean! I appreciate your support and encouraging comments. I'll put you on the map.
Liked and subscribed after the alarm clock intro : )
Thank you so much Flat6fever I really appreciate the support-Bill
Wow you have some fun looking toys! I’m jealous
Thank you! only benefit of getting older.......the ability to purchase the implements you want. Have a good weekend. -Bill
Nice information to get
Thank you

Thanks Andrew
Nice job
Thank you! Hope your having continued success with your channel.-Bill
Want to wish you all the best of Retirement. I'm about 18 months from retiring myself. I was wondering if it would be any easier to spread your load by starting at the top and dumping in the down hill direction. Also wanted to comment that by treating your lawn with compost you are really building up your topsoil. Which is a good thing. A lot of people don't know this, and think using lime and fertilizers are the best ways. You've got a beautiful lawn and that shows your doing it right.
Good morning Dean, that’s a great observation and I promise next time I’m going to try tailgating downhill. Thanks for taking time to comment say hello, and have a great week. Thank you for the retirement wishes.
Dean. Are you retired yet? Must be getting very close. Bill
i put 6 ton in my dump,. work great. way cheaper then a dump truck
Good point! Around here the dump trucking cost would be $200 just for the trucking. Enjoy your weekend-Bill
Maybe try or look n2 chains for ur speadin, I bought a 7x14x2 14k gvwr Ironbull that weighs EMPTY 5,100 lbs n payload is 8-8,100 n pullin it with a '99 F250 gas, it came with chains to adjust the thickness of the material being dumped, dump trailers r super nice, I have used mine for gravel, topsoil, metal, demo wood, hay, n garbage
Hello Joe, happy Saturday. Thanks for sharing your experience with your dump trailer, sounds like you’ve got things figured out. I’ll definitely take a look at adjusting my chains to adjust the flow rate from the dump trailer. You have a great week and thanks for taking time to comment
You should be making videos for money! You’re a PRO!
Good morning Breach Builders. Thank you so much for the encouragement , I really appreciate it. Have a great week. -Bill
Be sure and not bump the load with the dump trailer extended completely, if you do this it will pull the ram completely out of the cyclinder
Great advice Eugene, i’ll pass that along to everyone thank you, enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Hey Bill that looked like a awesome airater and spreader could you tell me more about them? Thanks Mike
Hello Mike, happy Saturday. I bought the aerator used but know that it was manufactured from everything attachments. The spreader was purchased from a government surplus auction and although it’s very old works very well for me. You can Google top dressers online and they still make them. If this one broke tomorrow and I couldn’t repair it I would buy a new one as I’m really enjoying it. Hope this answers your question, enjoy the rest of the long weekend. Thanks for watching and stay in touch-Bill
Retirement, well I'm like 25 years away lol. I been wanting a dump trailer but they a bit pricey for me. I do have a 2012 Silverado 3500HD that I paid $1400 and a 2013 F250 that I paid $800 which would pull these trailers. I saw a 6lug trailer but wanted the 8 lug 16ft trailer, forgot the load capacity but maybe 1 day.
Hi Jorge, you’ll get there someday. Be patient and keep working hard. Have a great week!
@@billburkhart Thanks. I stopped watching video to go eat and I just saw the part where you screw the wood and tarp which I will sure use. Thanks for the reply.
Where did you buy that UTV compose spreader?
Good morning, I bought it at a school auction. The company, Turfco, is still in business and as of last summer you could purchase equipment similar to this. My video #117 has an in debt review of the top dresser.
Thanks for asking, enjoy the holiday weekend. -Bill
I retire at 51 30 years at c college p
Congratulations Steve, I hope retirements going well.
Hi. What brand of top dresser machine is that?
Hello, that is a Turfco R Matic Topdresser. Hope this is helpful.
@@billburkhart thanks for the info!
So how many yards was the road base?
Happy Easter! Not sure of the yards but each load was 3 tons. Enjoy your weekend. -Bill
Where are you getting the black gold?
Travis, I go down to the Davenport compost facility. They make some awesome compost.
@@billburkhart thanks for the info. Dubuque Mulch said they get theirs from there also. Not sure if it is the same as what you picked up.
@@travismoore3775 really? I’ll look into that. Would love to buy it locally! Thank you for the information!
@@travismoore3775 Hello Travis, I stopped at Dubuque Mulch and confirmed they have the same compost, and they do! $24 a cubic yard vs $8 in Davenport. I’ll consider the distance, time, and gas cost and strongly consider going to Dubuque Mulch which is 6 miles from my home vs 90 miles one way to Davenport. Thanks for the tip!!👍
@@billburkhart Good to know.. Davenport is a reasonable option when getting 5 or 6 yards for the $80+ difference. It would pay gas and a good lunch for you and your wife.
Great video but 95% of use don't have the money for a the great equipment you got.
Good Morning Frank, at my age I’m spending everyone’s inheritance! 👍
