[woodhog]

I also have built a rear apron to attach mud flaps to and mudflap hangers for the front of both axles.I am planning on putting ribbed panels on the sides like the hoppers have and already started working on countersinking the screws and there is a bunch of them.

Its a very nice trailer ,I dont think he is doin anymore spreads me and him had the only 2 made and he sold it to little giants .Buzzy16 has ordered one but i dont know if it has been built yet.Joe is thinking about how to get it to be able to unload moist dirt, it struggles a little there.

yeah mine is finished now, hopefully will be shipped this week.

[1985 kenworth]

just my opinion but i would only use sandbox/beach dirt only...any dirt that has any kind of wetness to it would be as heavy as mud and that will definetely make it struggle...:eek:

[woodhog]

Finally have some updates. Got the ribbed sides on,man those sheets are hard to glue. I didnt get the seams perfect,the more I sanded the more they needed so I quit on them. Here Is where I am at with it. Still like some mud flaps and mudflap weights,and cant decide if I want to put bows and front and rear caps and tarp.

[BRICKNICK]

Very nice trailer, here in New jersey we call them walking floors. And they are used here for both garbage/demo waste, wood chips, soils and sand etc..... There are many fleets of small companies that run specifically these trailers for everything. They use these a lot at garbage and recycling indoor transfer stations since they don't have the clearance in the building for a dump truck or dump trailer.

[dabears]

Looks awesome with the sides on!!!

[Espeefan]

That is looking sharp as a tack! I like it. Great job with dressing this trailer up.

Bricknick, walking floor trailers are quite a bit different then live bottom belted trailers. Have a look....

MY super liner is doin fine I now have a drop visor 22in bumper straight pipes , but still no peint yet.Glad to see ya out at the show.After I sold the pump I wished i still had it. I put leimbach in my excavator and it is not hardly fast enough .:)
