how big is the tractor? if its a fair sized one, ive seen one where the guy got the back half of a old '50's or 60's era 6 yd dump truck made it into a trailer, and used the tractors hydraulic remotes to run the dump , worked pretty good, if you have a smaller tractor, say 4 to 5000 lbs, you could make the same setup out of an old puckup rear half, and fab up a set of hinges for the rear and a hydraulic cylinder for the front, , a small tractor, like a N series ford, your going to be limited by the tractors weight and hp, but ive seen a guy build a steel box that mounted to the 3 point hitch, he would load it by hand untill the front end got light then go over to where he was taking the rocks, to dump, he set the box on the ground, unhooked the top link and raised the lift arms and drove foward, this was on about 5 acres so he didnt need much, as far as capacity, depends on the size of your rock needs i guess,
