I guess that a lot of us have them. Sometimes they are very handy.giaesolar

I have an idea to turn it into a roll off trailer eventually or dump trailer. I picked up the trailer for $500 and picked up a mobile sanitary treatment plant for $400. The plant has a nice steel tub that I would like to mount on the trailer with a hydraulic kit. Probably going to sit higher than a normal one but it will be pretty nice and beefy. Have you ever seen anyone do anything like that? I would be interested in speaking with them. I searched the thread but found nothing with this model trailer.

Just curious how they pull behind a standard F350 turbo-diesel and was interested to know if anyone had converted one to a dump trailer and their experience. My ultimate goal would be to make it into a roll off as the short distance from the axle to the rear of the frame looks to give a good pivot point to work with this application with little modification. I have to do a electric over hydraulic mod to it for the brakes and would be interested if you or anyone had a suggestion on what components worked well for them also. It is a relatively easy mod but one I have to make as I do not have a vehicle with air brakes to pull it with.

How does it pull for you behind your pickup? Did you do a conversion on the brakes?

I like the looks of this trailer, i was thinking about buying a M1061A1 and remove some weight and cut and weld in a section about 4' up front.
