And for those of us with small tractors I found a neat dump trailer available from Northern Tool or the manufacturer (cheaper from Northern, $1000. This trailer is 4x8 with about 18 inch sides. It can haul 2 tons or about 2 yards heaping full. It is heavy duty but only has 4 ATV wheels so you can't drive it over the road at high speeds but it will go anywhere with those big tires. It is designed as a dump trailer but you need to add the hydraulic cylinder and lines yourself. I bought those also from northern for about another $150. I have a small John Deere tractor with a bucket control lever that I use to power the lift up and down. I use the heck out of this thing just like Meadowlark does his. Would never be without one any more. Wish I could use a bigger one when I really need to move dirt but I don't have the pulling power. By the way Meadowlark, what kind of small dozer do you have? I have a small JD350 dozer and a Mustang skid loader that I used to move stuff around. Combine that with my JD4100 tractor and this trailer and I can move small mountains. I used this equipment to move about 250 trailer loads of dirt for fill on time. Dozer to dig the dirt out, skid loader to load it into trailer, tractor to haul it and dump. Wife says I'm Tonka deprived. I gotta suggest the mulch thing.

Gotta get back to fishin!
