That's a very nice looking setup. Is that a B7100?

Yes, RustyArc, that is my trusty old B7100. Small machine that punches well above its weight, super handy for our yard.

Nice work.
If you haven't already, don't go to the expense of tandem guards (like in the pic in the first post). All you require is a pair of single guards cut accross the middle. Weld each half onto the tray at either end of the wheels and tyres.Too many projects, so little time, even less money!Are you a registered member? Why not? click here to register.

Looks good.
Where have the hydraulics come from, and what sort of $$ damage are they?

The hydraulics were purchased second hand of a Toyota Dyna, not something that comes up all that often. For the pump /ram/hose it was $800. Oh that also included the rear hinges

Just a quick update seeing as this site has become so quiet
At the moment just trying to finish the last few things before the trailer gets blasted and painted.
mudguards. Used the original mudguards that came with the tray, just had to cut them down and bend one side. Mudflaps still to be attached to the bottom of the rear guards.
Added a toolbox to house the pump/battery. Replaced the hydraulic hose with a longer one to suit the new location
remodeled the back to include a protection recess for the lights
Hopefully not much longer to go now, as im keen to get it on the road and try its first load.

That trailer looks great.
What is the total weight?
And what is the load limit?
Do you have some final pics?
And an estimate of costs?
Cheers
Pulpo

hi Pulpo,
Unfortunately the trailer is not finished yet, pretty much at the same stage as what appears in the pictures due to other more urgent projects. Will finish it of the coming summer i hope.
I estimate the trailer to weigh around the 1 tonne mark, with load limit of 2 tonnes (3t total)
Cost to date is around 4500 including tray/hydraulics/suspension, a bit more to go with paint and licensing.
regards

surfin,
The weight came in @ 1060kg. I originally estimated it @ 1 tonne, so i am pleased with the outcome. It leaves just shy of 2 tonnes of payload which equates to a decent amount of sand.
One of the first runs was for some lawn sand, and it quite comfortably handled 6 scoops (wheres my previous trailer was max 3 scoops) the hydraulics handled tipping that weight no dramas as well so overall quite stoked at the outcome.

Mate,
I am in the process of building one myself. What was the thickness of the stell plate for the pivot ?
Thanks again for sharing this with us.
