In this video I make a small dump trailer using a 12V winch.
For some time we have been changing the barn into a “new“ workshop in our spare time. There is a lot to do there and that’s why I decided to build this trailer to speedup and facilitate earthworks.
It will definitely be useful for transporting firewood for the winter, carrying heavy things and many other works.
I think I was exaggerating a bit with the weight of the trailer, because it weighs over 100 kg, but at least it’s solid :)
The winch used in this design works well, although it could be a little stronger.
I did not give an additional battery because the tractor has a 26 ah gel battery and it is a sufficient power source.
Some homemade tools used when building this project:
- Hydraulic Bench Vise
- Chop saw
- DIY Belt Grinder 2x48
