Half round end dump trailer

Looking good Reg. Like the style of that one. Water is 10 pounds to the gallon so your lifting good. Since I upgraded the screw drive in the FWD it will lift a 30 lb bag of lead. Like you, I went to a bigger threaded rod 5/16" but instead of a steel nut I made the slider out of delron and taped it with a 5/16 tap. Just amazing how slipery the stuff is and now there's no friction at all.

Thanks Rob. I think it is lifting very well now. I tried one more test using 7.2V just to see if it would still lift the same weight. It does it without a wimper! Of course the speed is much slower but that may be a decent compromise over running a dedicated battery for the trailer itself.

I'm finally making some headway on the second one of these I am building. Does this look OK so far Alex?

looks like my 2016 mac steel only missing 2 more axles

Well I spent a few hours welding things together on this one today. I still have to finish the front part of the fenders and some welding here and there but the tub is nearly finished.

Looks incredible Reg!!! That ladder is perfect and adds so much to an already killer tub!

You da man dude!!!

Glad you like it Alex. I think I have the tub almost finished now unless you have any other ideas? I thought I would take a picture of the two side by side to show the style differences. I know a few people have been interested in this style of trailer so I am trying to get myself set up to take some orders soon....
