thats pretty funny....maybe a little ambitious....haha...

whats that on the rear wheel/hub of the john deere...ive never seen that before

Yep, they are ballast weights to compensate for when the front end loader is on. It also has a 450 lb weight box that hooks up to the 3-point hitch to help counter weight.

It is bent to an acute contour now

Methinks it's bent into a permanent DUMP TRAILER right now!!

Might be time for a "C" channel upgrade on that main frame tube. Or, you could get a stick of heavy guage 2" square tube at your local metal shop and have it heated and bent to the contour you need.....

Yea I'm thinking of bolting a couple angle iron brackets in or maybe a 2x4. I'll have to look at it better and see. I'll post pics of what I come up with.

It actually bent back pretty easy. A few jumps onto the hitch and you could barely tell, other than the flared crease where it buckled. Def can't hold any weight yet though

Hinge location found. Dump trailers are nice

Form follows function....and, what a lovely yard...

Don't think I'll have to worry about the trailer breaking again!
