TIlt or Ramps

I designed and had built/helped build a 5th wheel 18' tilt bed trailer. It was designed to be able to load 4 toons of small bale hay (alfalfa) and tilt the bed and pull it off with a cable or rope. It works better than I had ever dreamed. I can pull up to the bed and push the rear of the bed down with my kubota m4700 bucket and just crawl right up. I included a damper cylinder (that will someday be a power tilt cylinder) that keeps the bed from slamming down when I reach the balance point. No ramps to load up,no wheel wells to dodge, just throw the latch chain up and go. I love it!!!! and I would do it again with just a few changes.

It is a challenge to get home early enough to get pictures this time of year. And the weather hasn't been cooperating. I haven't tried this link thing yet so this is experimental for me. Hope it works.

I have posted some pictures of my trailer. Let me know what you think.
I took a look at your pics and I saw the Land Pride quick hitch what do you think of it. Is it easy and convienient? Is it loose or does it hold an implement that would bounce and vibrate a lot tight enough, ie a rototiller. Does the implement that you are putting on have to be alligned exactly? Does it make the emplement a lot longer so that a pto shaft won't be long enugh???
Enough questions
Thanks TomRoberts <>< Rockpicker
