My guy.... you TOTALLY get it. This is the best leaf trailer built. Great job!

I know you are pumped for fall clean up season. It might be a good idea to add those 2x4’s along the top just to eliminate the sharp/rough edges created by the vertical posts and edges of the plywood that my wear a hole in your tarp. Your videos are always informative. I like seeing how other peoples minds work. It helps me fine tune my plans with less trial and error.

Use weather stripping in the gaps.

When it comes time to dump, I'm assuming the door with the loader on it also opens. Will you disconnect the loader from the yellow hose on the interior of the trailer? Great video, love the detail.

Yes, that is correct.

In Harbor freight you can get a little bungee cords they have a little plastic Circle hanging from dance so I run my tarps in my dump truck and trailer with those So I put the little bungees in every single eye of the tarp then I put screws into the plywood and every single Bungee attaches to it so they pull really tight to keep the tarp In please but the beauty of it is that you can remove a section in a blink to throw stuff in the trailer like branches or dumping a barrel in there or if you need to jump in there to compact the leaves So you basically will have access throughout the whole trailer and they snap in those screws in no time I wish I could send you a picture

Great video! When I get my tip dumpster I'm following your lead to the T! Question for you, will this dump be specific to spring and fall cleanups? If not will you be taking the walls off for spring/summer months? Thanks, again great video.

How did it do with the dust? I currently have the 37hp Billy Goat, an with the 12/1 compaction it creates and blows a insae amount of dust up right through the mesh top. Leaves a terrible mess of dust on the ground/ more importantly the operator. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Great video.

Thanks for sharing. How much debris do you get blown out of the back end where the mesh tarp has a gap?

@HandyGuy2016

Жыл бұрын

Very little debris, mostly dust. I got a longer mesh tarp to close the gap which helps also.

I think it's easier to buy a trailer with higher walls than to do that

@HandyGuy2016

Жыл бұрын

If you wanted to use it with high sides year round, it would be easier to buy it with high sides. I use it to haul mulch, gravel, and other loads with the short sides and use the side extensions in the Fall/Winter for leaf removal.

Nice setup. How does the door open connected to the yellow/black pipe?

@HandyGuy2016

Жыл бұрын

The pipe is loosely fit so it comes off when the door is opened. I have changed it since this video and it is now clamped to the end of Billy Goat Tube and opens with the door.

@@HandyGuy2016 got it. Thanks!! I’ve got a vac on a dump but need to make the sides bigger 🤪 and this is great inspiration!

Why didn’t you mount the vacuum towards the front end of the trailer ? Above the battery box.. Seems like it’s easier to unload if the vacuum isn’t near the back as it’s a dump trailer.

I did a lot of research and talked to a lot of guys running dump trailer/vacuum setups, and the majority prefer rear mount vacuums.

Why did you decide to mount the bully goat onto the door closer to the road versus the curb?
