Tractor in a dump trailer? New trailer add-ons in the Iron Bull Norstar dump trailer.

[@curmudgeon1955]

I love all the toys and stuff you do, especially the outdoor work and shop fabrication. That trailer is super cool. I especially like the spare tire cover, got to love a patriot. You and your bride give me a warm feeling seeing the goodness in your hearts and minds that comes through without spoken words, trust me, I know good (godliness) when I see it. I am an old country boy/geezer now battling cancer, but in my day I was a lot like you. God Bless you both, the world is a better place with people like you and Tiffany in it.

Your loader front cross bar was in danger of pushing into your lift cylinder on the first try; if that tractor ever moved forward it would have caused some damage. Maybe lift loader a bit.

Most of those remotes require you to press both the up and down buttons to turn on/off the remote.

Norstar also makes the service bodies used by both Diesel Creek and Let'sDig18. That alone says a lot. They did that on their own. No sponsorship. Just like you. Really says a lot when so many people end up with the same/similar decision.

Hey Andrew, I just noticed your Gatortail in the background, it would be cool if you made a little overview and maintenance video on it. I’ve had one for close to 10 years, but when I first got it I was looking all over online for maintenance videos. A lot of people don’t know what they are and their purpose.

[@TKCL]

I'll keep that in mind. Love that boat!

[@donaldslate4195]

Did you use wheel chalks when loading tractor? I place them in front of wheels to stop the tractor from pushing truck forwards when loading.. chalk set on trailer and truck.

[@TKCL]

No I don't since everything is so flat here.

[@donaldslate4195]

Think the wheel chalks would help block the truck from moving while loading. Should this help take pressure off the transmission while belting loaded. I prefer rubber chalks over plastic. Think they grip better. I have seen truck move forward while being loaded. Scary as all out. Cheap insurance for loading.

[@brucesumner6993]

Very nice! Those stabilizer braces..... how do you release them with a load on the trailer? My trailer has hydraulic units so I can retract them if a load remains on them.

[@TKCL]

You lock them in place a few inches above the ground to avoid binding.

[@georgehofgren6123]

You don't want the Stabilizers on the ground to start... too much weight focused right on the back... You want the load to bear down on the Springs first, and then have the Stabilizers support the rest.. That way the trailer is properly Planted on the ground while loading a piece of equipment on ramps 💁‍♂️

[@TKCL]

@georgehofgren6123 you don't want your stabilizers to completely touch the ground or you'll never get the pin out to lift them.

[@billeakins2006]

i meet to add also do they have a monitor that would work with the cameras so you can see

[@TKCL]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYqUhYuwhK1raqs

[@NikeHM69]

Looks like a really solid setup, but how would you go about raising those rear stabilizer jacks back up with the weight of the tractor on the retaining pins? I'd imagine you'd need to use a farm jack or something to take the pressure off the pins in order to remove them.

[@TKCL]

That's why I mentioned you keep them above the ground.

[@NikeHM69]

@@TKCL Oh, gotcha. I must have missed that part.

[@carlhill9060]

Great video! Do you think the rear stabilizers are mandatory? Can you do a video comparison without the rear stabilizers to see how much it wants to lift up on the back of your truck?

[@TKCL]

Not mandatory in my case as the ground is flat and the trailer has a lot of tongue weight. With that said it's not worth loading equipment without them. Your putting unnecessary stress on your hitch, truck, axles and trailer without them.

[@redman2751]

Think you’d be able to squeeze out of the cab with the taller 36-48” sided trailers.

[@TKCL]

Probably not, that's a big reason I wanted 24 inch sides.

[@redman2751]

@@TKCLdang I’m glad I saw your video. We don’t have a tractor but are looking at cab tractors about the same size as yours. We will be getting the trailer before the tractor though. I hadn’t even thought about getting in and out of the tractor. We do house flips and will use the trailer for trash mostly but also for picking up landscaping material. We want to get the tractor for use on site as well for various things and on our home land. I appreciate you getting back to me.

@@TKCL Yeah Im aware, honestly until your video I had fully decided on a high side trailer(36-48"). I knew I could raise them higher but was only thinking about debris height and thinking itd be easier with high sides. Didnt even occur to me to think about getting in and out of the tractor. All I was thinking about was length, width and weight capacity. I have to go back to my local trailer supplier to check out the thickness of the steel as well.

Thank you for the video. Im in the same boat needing a trailer for my L6060. Do you think if you got the 3ft sides on an 8ft wide trailer, you could squeeze out the door? Im thinking about a 16f or even 18ft but I would like a 3ft side wall

[@TKCL]

If your tractor is cab, stay with 2ft side walls so you can open the doors. You can always add the top boards to extend the height and carrying capacity, all while quickly removing them when the tractor needs to be opened up. 8ft wide will be a nightmare to operate on small roads, lots ect.

[@ffrob2001]

@@TKCL Thank you, I didnt think about the back roads with a wider trailer. I have a new f250 and its already pretty wide. I was just thinking I would have more room to fit the tractor in but then again my tractor is like 6'3"so it would fit in the 7ft wide. I think what you suggested is the best way. Probably 2ft sides would be much easier to open the doors.

[@TKCL]

@ffrob2001 plus you only need high sides for light debris like trash or limbs. You'll never fill a 3 or 4ft high side trailer up with rock or dirt. You'd be WAY over the carrying capacity.

I have a much smaller tractor. I have an 18' car trailer I use to haul my tractor and implements when needed. I was originally going after a 16' trailer but it sold before I got to the dealership, they had the 18' car trailer available so I bought it...this was during COVID, so inventory was very scarce, so I took what they had....if I did it again I wouldn't have bought a car trailer, I would have bought a dump trailer...far more useful overall, I don't particularly want to or need to haul cars and if I did I could rent the UHAUL car hauler trailer. I've been thinking lately of putting my trailer up for sale, taking the money from that and putting it towards a dump trailer...the problem is, if I needed to haul all of my implements I couldn't as a 7x14 dump trailer isn't long enough...with my car trailer I can side load stuff too, pallets, implements, etc. With a dump trailer you have to load everything from the back, inconvenient for a lot of reasons...so its kind of a catch 22. What exactly are you doing, and what are you going to be doing the most, and what are you hauling, what implements/attachments do you need to haul, etc. I mean truthfully you'd really want a flat bed, and a dump trailer, but in the end a flat bed is better for me, and I can rent a dump trailer for the few times I'd ever use one. I do need to add a winch to my car trailer though, would be useful sometimes for dragging stuff onto the trailer.
