Trimming Trees around the Hay Field. Testing out $250 Dump Wagon. Will it dump the tree limbs?

Put a big branch on first, tie a piece of scrap rope to the end, back up to where you want to tip and tie it off to something. Raise the hoist and drive away, the tied off big branch on the bottom will pull it all off usually. Can even work with a truck or trailer with no hoist.

Enjoy your videos. Just a comment on your power steering noise. Have owned and worked on those case tractors for years. They are famous for belt slippage. Power steering is driven by a small belt driven by the water pump which is driven by 2 larger belts off the crankshaft. Slippage can be at either set of belts. Make sure that belts and pulleys are in good condition and belts are the correct width to fit the pulleys. Belts have to be tensioned properly. The power steering belt is difficult to get tight enough and after its run awhile it will have to be retensioned. Also slippage can be at the double belts. In this case if you turn the steering you can hear or see the radiator fan slow down. Valve problems happen but are much less common. If everything is set correctly you can turn steering all the way to either side and hold without belt slipping. Hope this helps and good luck.

Hi Evan. My wife Lynne live on a small farm in WV ( Harvest Time Farm) We have been watching your channel for several years now and we enjoy your videos very much. Thanks for sharing your life on the farm with us. We were so glad TYM reached out to you and gave you the cab tractor. You certainly needed it with all the repairs you had to do to your older tractors. Farming requires dependable equipment. I pray someone will reach out to you now and offer you a disc mower or an Enorossi sickle bar mower, a new hay tedder and a new hay rake and of course a new baler. You are good people and you certainly deserve the best. God bless !!!

Suggestion on backing 4 wheel wagons: We have hitches mounted on the front of our smaller tractors, hooking the wagon tongue to the front of the tractor makes backing a 4 wheel wagon much easier, Otherwise you are pushing the wagon into the shed, believe me it’s much easier,

Cool trailer for $250. Looks like a good purchase to me. As always your doing great!

[@corydriver7634]

We called those grain wagons around here. That’s why they have a shoot on the end gate so you can backup to a pit or most likely an auger hopper and dump grain to transfer to a bin. That chain hanging on the inside was meant stretch across and prevent the sides from blowing out. Backing up a wagon does take some practice, try this; imagine the hitch on the tractor is an extension of your hands.

[@carlthor91]

Evan, you can make a modular rack, that will fit in the stake holes, then just drop it on with the TYM, when needed, and a little forethought when loading the rack, with hay bales, and you don't worry about tipping. Because once you start to modify the running gear, well, that opens a whole different can of worms. I had to modify a much larger trailer (24 foot by 8 foot), it was a whole mess of extra work. Best wishes all.

My tractor has a hitch plate on the front bumper. Makes it a lot easier to hitch the wagon up front and back it up while you're looking forward. You can correct the drift easier and keep it straight. You look like a pretty good welder just make a hitch if your tractor doesn't have one. Really comes in handy and is safer.

Evan, you made a good buy on that dump wagon for $250.00 and I would leave it like it is. It will be handy for a lot of things around your farm and with the lift working as well as it is, it will pay for itself in a short period of time. You can still haul hay on it, brush piles like you did today, firewood haul, moving dirt to fill in low places, hauling to your compost area, it is unlimited what you can use it for.

[@JohnSmith-fs4dx]

You back a wagon like a champ. Envious.

[@tommoore8123]

That wagon is a great addition to the arsenal. I've found that if you load the first layer butt ends just outside the end and all other layers working forward, it helps guide the whole mass as it's dumped. The less to catch, the better.

[@brucerushing2363]

[@footplate0]

Hi Evan, I does not matter how many times you attempt to reverse the trailer, what does matter is that you do it and achieve your goal in the end. I know its a fairly small dump trailer but could you make it a bit easier on yourself by standing in the trailer and cutting the branches, then letting the branches fall into the trailer. This would save you loading the thing and you would also be able to cut higher if you wanted to. Let gravity do the work not you. Just a thought. Thanks for posting.

[@davidignacio3009]

[@jvin248]

Before you tear into the Case steering system ... check the fluid quality and replace the filter(s), sometimes it's a simple problem. Squealing, if not a slipping belt, could be a pressure relief valve getting worked because the higher rpm and higher fluid flow is hitting restrictions like a plugged filter.

[@bobw7066]

Greetings from Australia, to make your trailer easier to back up you need what we call over here is a turn table lock. You weld a steel plate to the front of the trailer with a hole in it and the same to front axle undercarriage and drop a big pin through both holes this stops the axle from rotating and you can push it backwards in a straight line jack knifing.

[@billybrassel3814]

I thought you were going to drive along under the branches and cut them so they fell into the trailer, then you wouldn't have to pick them up. Whatever you decide to do always seems to work. Keep up the great videos.

[@rickmorris338]

Hello. Nice to see and hear your getting the hang of backing up. Keep up the good work. It really isnt that hard. Do like you did with the tail gate on all three other sides. Use the new fancy tractor to take the other sides off. Use if for a hay wagon. When loading the limbs like you are. Put bigger heavier logs on the front. they will push the lighter stuff down. And then like you say use the loader to pile them up. But, even at that. Let them lay in a pile in the field. That wont hurt a thing. in fact that is a good thing. fertilzer. It is all good. That is a heck of a deal on that wagon. Use it for a lot of things. hay, fire wood, the things are limitless. wtg use your imagenation keep up backing up things. the more the better. you said it your self to make it go one way make the tractor go this way for every axel it is the oppiste way think about it it really is fun.

[@terrywelford3204]

When I drove trucks with a drag(trailer) we used to mount a tow hitch on the front of the tractor, it was easier to have the steering wheels on the towbar, much quicker reaction times for manoeuvring, just a thought, like your site by the way, gives me an interest for the dull UK afternoons, keep it up, thanks

[@timnash6870]

Tim from Canada if you were doing work on a trailer just like this and you were having a hard time trying to figure out how to put a strap around the back end of the trailer... suggestion is get a block of wood.. and if you go into the inside of your trailer and you were able to lift it up a bit... with your foot shove the piece of wood underneath the back of your trailer.. flap do the same thing on the other side... this way you can bring a strap read around and in the middle you should be able to take it off with the forklift.. or a tractor or anything that you have handy

[@cathiwim]

Another thought, you could stand IN the trailer to get more height for cutting.

[@bradleyschneider3871]

I remember when I was about 15 working for a farmer he had me try and back up 2 trailers that were both attached to the tractor, he new I couldn't do it but it was a test,back then they used small trailers for small grain whether oats. I know the feeling if backing up made me a better truck driver when I've gotten older! That's a great deal on your trailer evan!

Good morning from Grand Forks

[@johnsadler8637]

Good morning! I concur the dump function is likely to be useful going forward. Steerable wagons are tough to back up, especially if the linkages are a little worn and loose. Anything that is short relative to the length of the tractor is tough to back too, even a rigid trailer. One thing to do - put a foot tall standup about midway down the tongue with a clamp or ram’s horn turn at the top to put your hydraulic hoses through. Some people weld a spring with a clamp on top. Whatever you do, the hoses need to be up off the ground. They’ll wear where they drag, and eventually some stump or root will catch them. Nothing good will come of a hose hanging low. As for dumping - that second load came out just fine. If you use it enough to polish the deck a little, stuff will slide out better too. You can push the pile, but if you wand to do very much, consider using your forks instead of the bucket. At some point, a grapple might be an attractive purchase for limb collection and brush pile ‘management’. Good stuff, Evan!

[@kennethsmith5454]

[@andyjaffray419]

You need to put on a bracket to keep the hydraulic lines off ground. Regards Andy from Australia

[@margaretbedwell58]

I think this is definitely a handy wagon to have on the homestead. It is bigger than the pickup bed and it does dump (somewhat). Too bad it doesn't have a slick surface on the bottom so things would slide off better also easier to hose down after you have hauled manure in it. Maybe you could come up with something. Thanks for sharing your purchase. Have a Blessed day.
