Hello
Anyone find the cost of the Timber wagon forest pro?
Building a dump bed trailer should not be to high. One could build a walk Behind type of dump bed trailer.
If you look closely at the first two videos I posted, you'll see the hydraulic drive between the wheels of the Vahva Jussi 320 trailer with the dump beds. I wanted thecTimber Wagon video so everyone could see what these trailers are capable of.
Prices on the trailers range in the $8-$10K range. That may sound high, but properly engineered and built hydraulic systems ARE NOT cheap. Cheap out on a hydraulic system and the injuries in could cause are extremely devastating. I have pics of what a hydraulic fluid injection injury look like in my journal on the prospectors journal forum. They are extremely graphic and not for those with a weak stomach.
I've been a machinist/millwright in the mining industry for a long time. Not being ignorant or anything, but you would do well heeding my "advice".
