Trailer plans

But if all you want is a farm trailer, I'd keep an eye out for abandoned trailers hiding behind places. I've gotten trailers that way before. Some in very good condition, some that really weren't worth bothering with. The junked body of a pop up camper makes a dandy cargo trailer. Knock the body off it, and you've got a pretty handy little flat bed trailer.

Dump capability is simple enough, especially with a three point hitch. I dump mine by lifting the hitch. But I don't find dumping capabilities to be very handy overall. Without a double acting hydraulic cylinder, I can't control it adequately. And I hardly ever use any form of it anyhow. I just shovel or throw, even from many dump bed trailers.

The N-Newsletter had a selection of reader-built trailers in the last two issues which might give you some very useable ideas.
