pioneer dump cart
Posted by Bird at 2014-11-18 09:20:45
Has anyone had any experience with the pioneer dump trailer with the winch assembly?
I'm looking for such a tool, primarily for hauling wood, but that assembly sticking up looks like a pain.
I'm sure I can make one but when? Know anyone in upper midwest make something like this?

I built one for myself with the same type winch assembly a couple of years before Pioneer put theirs on the market. The only time the piece sticking up has ever been a problem was loading the trailer with a bucket tractor. I had to use a little extra caution to avoid damaging the trailer. If you decide to build one yourself I'll let you learn from my mistake. The piece going up for the pulley has more stress on it than I thought it would. After a few heavy loads I had to reinforce it.

You could make a hydralic dump that had a hand pump.

I really like the idea of a hand pump.
But I don't have the time or the welding skills to do this. I can build you a house but don't know much about welding.
Maybe I need a vacation to Ohio to see the pioneer cart in the flesh.

They make a hydralic dump kit for pickups. That could be the base for a small wagon dump.

I have a wood framed trailer with a boat winch and bi-pod lift system that my dad built about 1965. It's still going strong today. Same idea as the Pioneer. Only time the bi-pod gives me a problem is when I get a brain fart and forget that thing is sticking up there 7 foot in the air. We dumped garbage 3X a week with that thing for 25 years. Hauled gravel, sand, wood, sawdust, household items, pigs, lawn equipment, junk.....it's just real handy.

I don't know that anyone builds them now, But I've always wondered why you don't see more "tip Carts" here like you would have seen in England or Europe. Seems like a handy design. The bed would be hinged over the axel and balanced in such a way that with minimal effort it could be un latched at the front and tipped backward to dump.

You can build one easy enough. It's finding wheels high enough to work that gets tricky.

I don't get on RH as much as I used to. Saw this thread as something I have played with a little.
This is a hydraulic dump cart wagon that I built. It works well and is headed to Luphers for a full proof test.

that sure looks like a real nice dump cart thank you KM & Wes. It sure has taken some time and work to make this all come together & work.
