having spent alot of time in my dad's enclosed kubota, i have to agree

 

A windshield wiper is an option. That reminds me that I don't have one on my glass windshield yet. Hmm....

 

Merry Christmas to Jim?

 

Maybe. I need to look at what it's going to cost. There is a site FixMyToys.com that has a sale every year at this time. I bought my front and back glass during those sales the past two year. I can only buy one thing a year according SWMBO.

 

Howdy Tractor Gang!

Rodney, the search gets easier when you identify a need and can narrow down to specifics. Then adding options to increase versatility and comfort isn't as daunting. Having bought what met my needs, but leaving my wants alone, I know now what my next one will have in a few more years. The nice thing though is I will do alright trading my current one on my future one, or selling it outright. My little L Series IS my 4-wheeler. BTW, another option to filled tires is a 3pt mounted ballast box. The advantage is it is easily removable when you don't want or need the extra weight. The disadvantage is it occupies the 3pt instead of some other implement that may be needed for the job, but the only time I wish I had more weight in the rear end is when doing heavy FEL work.

Have a great evening gang!

 

Theres a ton of trailer MFR's in southern PA thats for sure. I just don't know that alminum ones are worth it. I saw pics of another one locally that had a steel frame and aluminum body. They are sharp, but for me, I'll stay steel. It's not like we're towing them with F150's where unladen weight really matters.

Don't know how I'm still awake after 2 straight nights of 4 hours sleep. Michael has a double ear infection, 4 molars coming out and is one miserable little critter that kept us up Sunday night. Last night I was just so damn bothered by the school board meeting, but did find it my heart to go have at the idiots on facebook while i couldnt sleep. Hoping for some sleep tonight, I need it!

 

Good luck with the sleep Scott. Hope the baby feels better soon too!

 

Sorry about the sleep Scott... On the aluminum dump, it's almost equal to steel price wise as the company is new. Can't beat aluminum....

 

On the dump you pictured, the frame almost looks like galvanized steel, but it may just be my monitor making it look that way.

 

Nope, all aluminum...

 

Sweet! The monitors here at work kinda suck, but I guess they work fine for goofing off.

 

LOL!! Chevy Truck Legends: Owner Membership | Chevrolet

I got invited to join that group. Beats me why. I haven't owned a GM/Chevy truck in over 30 years.

 

Jim, you're not legendary??

 

Only in my own mind.

 

The aluminum dump is a bit lighter weight and the GVWR is lower at 9990#. 3' sides vs. 4' on the BWise. 6'6"X12'. Standard is 2' but I asked for 3'. Not sure if that's a good idea or not? The only thing I'm not crazy about is the 15" wheels and tires. They are overrated for that GVWR but I may write the owner to ask about a 16" LRE upgrade cost. Using it for light duty like my new direction is pointing would likely never warrant the cost though. It's really marketed as more of a landscape and light duty use trailer which is what I'd be doing with it. The aluminum is what sells me. No paint to chip and fail. No rust. Good size for moving ranger, splitter, chipper, etc. Good size for bringing firewood to mom. Good size for household landscaping projects like mulch runs etc. Good size to help me move to the new house someday.
