 U-Haul Auto Transport Trailer for CUT?

Very interesting about this bounce effect you have seen. I wonder if that would be avoided by adjustments on the brake controller? Are one-axle brakes on a tandem trailer always on the leading axle?

Thanks for your valuable input.

 U-Haul Auto Transport Trailer for CUT?

All in all, I think either a trailer and good heavy truck or a roll back are the way to go.

The real way to go would be a 12 to 14 foot roll back that dumps too on a truck comparable to a Ford F350.

PS
I would love to have a truck like this.
It would be ideal for transporting my Kubota BX 23 and for hauling sand gravel slag dirt etc.

My objection about a pick up and a trailer is you have to buy insure license store and maintain 2 vehicles to haul one tractor and you still don't have anything to haul sand gravel slag dirt etc. with.

The good thing is it's out there. One guy's dream is another guy's mistake. Isn't the marketplace a great, well oiled machine? Could you imaging living in a place where some bureaucrat decided which truck or which tractor we could buy?

I've never seen or heard of a bed that rolls back & dumps too:

There are several companies that make them, the problem is their such a comprimise at everything that their not very good at anything.

A rollback is by virtue of it's design a very heavy unit, that's why you don't see them on a P/U chassis very often. The dead weight of the rollback itself is usually tickling the payload of a P/U itself.

The other problem is pure geometry. If you had a rollback unit with a short enough platform or body on it to be able to dump something like dirt, you would basically be standing anything on wheels on end when you picked it up.

You need at least 40° before dirt will START to move, a typical dump box goes up to 70°-80° at max lift height.

A typical tilt'n'load like a car carrier goes up to a maximum of 20° when it is loading.

That's a BIG difference.

Best of luck.
