WOW! that's a big tub! You still using 12tpi acme thread for these trls too Reg?

It truly impresses me the level of ambition you have to crank these builds out as quick as do Reg... I'm so lazy!

Yes it will hold a lot of volume Joe. It's around 30" long inside and with the flat bottom it is definitely more chunky than a normal half round. I wouldn't be surprised to see a 5 gallon pail of dirt nearly fit in this heaped. Having said that I will be very disappointed if I see that kind of load in it unless it's light material. They just aren't meant to move that kind of weight. No ACME thread on these trailers. The motors I am using work better with a normal pitch thread and I have also gone up to a larger diameter for added strength. I have days where I struggle to work on certain things that's for sure but I am trying to make an honest go at this as a job so things have to keep moving along. For the most part it is pretty cool building toys for a paycheck. I also enjoy the look on other peoples faces when I tell them what I do besides fishing. "you build...toys?... WHAT?"lol
