  Adding hydraulics to dump trailer

There are different ends to the cylinder available but the most common are the ones used in the ag industry so they would be the most economical to buy. Depending on location, might dictate the amount of strength needed to lift the box to dump when full. I'd probably say a four inch should be be fine. I'd also use 1/2 inch hoses to transfer the fluid as quickly as possible to have a good dump speed. Hoses carry a lot of pressure and I wouldn't try to put the ends on with other then the proper machine.

  Adding hydraulics to dump trailer

Many of the trailers will actually have the base frame for the hydraulic cylinder built in. Depending on the location of the cylinder location will dictate the diameter needed to lift the load. Northern hydraulics do have good hoses that are of good quality for your application. If the kit does include a hand pump unit then just order the cylinder and get the hoses to go to your tractor with iso ends to connect.

Flat face couplers are used on skid steers for the most part and haven't hit the compacts or ag tractors. On all the dump trailers we sell they have a leg built on them that holds the box up for servicing which is a good idea. The self contained hydraulic systems depending on manufacturer seem to be slightly different as some are only power up and some are have power down working a two way cylinder. We've taken a few options on our trailers and kind of made them standard on stock units like the security box for the pump and battery so they are located on the hitch but locked up to make it a little harder for thieves.

Ken, to have the hose larger allows for a larger reserve. Could you imagine being a fireman on the end of an inch and a half hose with a full hydrant pushing and nothing but a trickle! After enough hose that's the resistance that just killed the flow! Just like an electrical wire! It does work!
