Stillwell Atlas hydraulic dump trailer jack

[@davidhoover8877]

I love the trailer tongue lock

[@elkbow]

Thanks. I'm going to build another one soon for my new dump trailer, maybe a little different design. ,

[@Mikey-n5s]

@@elkbow nice Jack! do you have pictures of how you made that lock?

[@elkbow]

@@Mikey-n5s I have several pics of the completed unit, and me an email elkbow @ comcast.net (remove spaces)

[@simpsonrdlarry4385]

Awesome! Exactly how I want my trailers set up! I’m cranky enough without having to crank my trailers up and down all the dam time!!😎👍👍

[@elkbow]

Haha, same here. I don't want to be standing there in 100 degree or - 10 degree weather cranking a jack.

[@javiermontoya3921]

Nice, I like it

[@alanshelby5980]

Now add a wireless remote and it would be super super cool

[@elkbow]

I did add wireless remotes to both of my dump trailers, definitely worth having.

[@craigfuller6187]

Where can you get wireless remote? I have looked and can’t find any. Thanks

[@elkbow]

@@craigfuller6187 i have a KTI KWR-003 Wireless Remote, but if your research here on youtube there are much cheaper ways of doing it.

I have an H&H trailer I bought 2008 it’s tilt bed and already has a hydraulic pump and reservoir but does not have a hydraulic jack like yours it was manual and it’s a pain in the ass. So after watching your video I really just need that switch that goes from the pump to the trailer and then turn the switch to the jack to lift the entire trailer right because that’s what you put on OK so I’m asking is do I need to buy another pump set up or can I just use mine and just add the switch

[@elkbow]

You can use your pump, then you'll need the switch, hoses and a hydraulic tongue jack

[@TheTorosx3]

How much did this set up cost you?… I have to dump trailers and I think this is a really cool addition.

[@elkbow]

Can't say what it is now, you'll need to go to their site or give them a call. I believe at the time it was cheaper going direct to them.

[@5312cesar]

Hi there I was thinking install this hydraulic Jack for my trailer. Just wondering after you did all the hoses connections , did you just test it ? Even though new hoses doesn’t have hydraulic fluid. How this work? Please let me know.

[@elkbow]

After the install, fill the hydraulic oil reservoir back up because you'll lose some when you remove the old hoses. No bleeding necessary, just run it.

[@5312cesar]

Thank you! 👍🏻I’ll do that.

[@taraschuguy8621]

How’s the jack to this day? Any issues?

[@elkbow]

Working great, no issues. Was spreading manure last two days with it.

[@taraschuguy8621]

@@elkbow thank you. Looking into brands. Building my Diamond c and their option was “lippert”. Spoke to an agent there and he said there were too many problems with Stilwell so they switched to lippert. They had lippert for about few months now and the reviews balance out with Stilwell. You just made up my decision. Going to go with stilwell. Thanks again

[@elkbow]

@@taraschuguy8621 thanks for the comment.

[@carlosmarban8316]

Was they very costly to do that looks very nice

[@elkbow]

It is cheapest, I found, when you call them directly and tell them what you want.

[@carlosmarban8316]

Ok thanks

[@truethinker68]

What length hoses did you get?

[@elkbow]

@@truethinker68 don't remember now, I don't have that dump trailer now, I have another one. But I can measure them, my friend has that trailer.

[@scottmiller355]

I have question regarding the installation of the new hydraulic jack - did you lose much fluid when disconnecting the original lines from the dump to the pump, and with all the additional hydraulic lines added how did you figure out how much additional hydraulic fluid was needed?

[@elkbow]

Yes you lose fluid. I bought 1 gallon of Mobil DTE 24 hydraulic fluid to fill back up to the proper fill line. www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjU4sCmnLLvAhVE4MAKHbJ0CzUYABAFGgJpbQ&ae=2&sig=AOD64_1Sg6x_tdzZ8hYIfL8zGL7l3hS--w&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwjmyramnLLvAhWMVc0KHSBhALgQwg96BAgMECI&adurl=

[@TheRicoCallao]

I got one like that now having an issue. Every morning i found the trailer lower that where i left the night before. What can be the problem?

[@elkbow]

Hydraulic leak somewhere. Since all the lines are pressurized, there has to be a leak or possibly the valve is bad. If you can't visibly see a leak I would give Stillwell a call.

[@donnieg668]

You need a jack with counterbalance valves. Cost a bit more but won’t drift when fully loaded or going down the highway.

[@tamaradreher4947]

Could you show me more about the lock on the trailer

[@elkbow]

I can send you pictures if you give me an email address

[@migueldejesusolivares5607]

How you made your hitch lock

[@JeffinTD]

Nice! A while back I left Stillwell a message, tried calling and Facebook message. Maybe they were shut down for Covid. I’ll have to try again.

[@elkbow]

Maybe. They're really responsive normally. Give them a try again.

[@JeffinTD]

@@elkbow I did, and I got an answer on a Saturday! They might have been shut down or reduced when I tried before.

Nice work and thanks for the video. Also interested in your hitch/coupler lock, if you are able to share any details. Thanks!

Thanks Rob. I built the hitch lock. Living in New Mexico we are worst in the nation for vehicle thefts, including trailers. I can send you pics and details if you leave your email address. I can delete it after I send pics.

Flip the switch. You can call Stillwell, they can answer for sure how that would work.

[@IgnacioHernandez-zv2em]

Hello, I just bought a dump trailer 16K from Texas Pride, I haven't used it yet, but the stairwell jack is coming down, so I called Texas Pride, and the repair department said that I need to put air in the jack cylinder, however I haven't figured out how to do that. This is very disappointing since it's a brand new dump trailer. Please advise. Thank you!

Not sure what values you are talking about. If you give Stillwell a call they can answer any questions you have, great people to work with. 612-248-1110

[@blakew5397]

How much did the entire kit end up running you?

[@elkbow]

I don't remember. It's actually cheaper if you buy it direct from Stillwell.

[@battlewelder]

Just contacted stillwell by email they refused to sell direct to me

[@elkbow]

@@battlewelder. They still show direct sales on their website.

[@jjjjjjames98]

What kind of hitch lock is that? Where can i buy one?

[@elkbow]

I made it. With the thefts we have here in New Mexico, I decided to make one. The case mounts through the channel holes with 4140 hardened steel rods. Both sides of the rods are enclosed and the rods are locked with good puck locks. The case and rod/lock enclosures are 1/4" steel. It's very heavy so I made a handle to carry it and to make it easier to install/remove. There is also a rod on the inside to hang the chains on which are locked inside, as they could still steal trailers by just using the chains.

[@jjjjjjames98]

elkbow I’ve been looking to buy one, but i figured if i wanted something like yours i would have to make it. I’m really interested in making one. Is there any way you could send me pictures? We have way too many trailer thefts here in Texas as well. Super sweet trailer set up by the way.
