BX25 in a dump trailer?
- Thread starter Flienlow
- Start date
I see no reason why it wouldn't work. Duel axels electric brakes, and a set of ramps and make sure it can handle the tractor weight,+ 10% (that's just my rule of thumb}. And don't forget proper tie downs too!!!
I don't think I would want to try and tilt it to load and unload it. If I am not mistaken I do believe that Wildfire uses his dump trailer for his BX too

Here is my BX24 in a Big Tex LP70. Normally the BH bucket is secured to the the back of the trailer.

Where you are Kubota Man is that legel and ok to do that? I always wondered if I could do that with my BX25. I want a dump trailer as well but thought I would need a 14' to haul and then I would have to upgrade my truck to a 3/4 ton. If I can leave both attachments outside of the trailer I might consider this now. Anyone know where I can find out the laws In Manitoba about this?

No problem here if it has proper tie-down points inside. Know several people who do it regularly. Just don't put a load in it first. 
A knothead on southbound I-17 put a load of dirt/gravel in his, then drove the tractor (a BX25, from what the wreckage looked like) up on top of the mound, & tied it down. Apparently he didn't realize it would settle- the straps went slack, & fell off. As he headed down Sunset Point (a serious mountain grade) the tractor rolled out of the trailer on a fast curve, with predictable results. Kept traffic stopped for a couple hours. Hell of a waste of a nice tractor.

Yes it is. I have been all over the states of Washington, Montana and my home state of Idaho. I have never even gotten a second look by the State Police or DOT inspectors. I also have asked a State Police acquaintance if he seen anything wrong with it he said nope. If you had a 3pt mower or similar implement hanging off the back there may be issues with that. As far as the Tractor, FEL and the BH they are all secured to the trailer.
Saw this, would this work?

These have ramps as an option or if you go up a model the ramps are standard.

Well I finally talked to a DOT guy and he said I'm totally legal if the FEL and BH are outside the trailer. In Manitoba you are allowed 1 metre to extend out from either end of the trailer. Also the FEL and BH have to be chained or strapped to the trailer. Can not be just hanging out with no secure attachment. I will be going with a 12' for that little extra room. The dump trailer will really add to my business!!

Just saw this. My good friend uses his dump trailer to haul "Bob". His skidsteer. Contractor with employees. He believes in proper legal transporting. Also, i have coffee with a highways inspector(now retired).
