steamer-thanks a lot. It had me talking to myself for awhile but it all worked out. And yes,I tried it, it will dump a full load. Steve, no I do not have AC, I wish. I have been getting up at 6;00 every morning and working a few hours before the heat gets me. I spent a few sleepless nights wondering if I had enough power to dump a load since the lift points are so close to the hinge but it dumped a full load with a half-charged battery pack and only drew less than 1-amp. The motor is rated for 2-amps so I think I am okay. I didn,t weigh it but it is a huge pile of dirt. Later I will weigh the load and let you know.
