I'm not sure why it wont open. Maybe I didnt share it right. I can tell you I've carried and successfully dumped over 16 tons. Hauled it from an hour away. Tires were warm when I got there. Otherwise no issues. I pretty regularly run around 50 to 60k total weight sometimes truck only sometimes...

This is my conversation. I have to recommend the m925. The hydraulics are fast and strong. Pump is rated 30pgm at 3000psi...
With a snatch block I've pulled over 40k broke through the frost to the axles. But I had to paw with tires too. A 9420 john deere fully weighted with a dozer blade wouldnt move me. Made a decent anchor though.

Bummer. Maybe that would work better. Did you see the hoop I built. Had to run diagonal braces up to it. Firewood is hard on things.

What size tubing you use. I had a mishap the other day and busted my hoop off the back. Made a huge mess. Busted a whole bunch of stake boards off. Been looking for options for something stronger. Ripped down 2x4s leave a little to be desired.

So right wrong or otherwise. Most likely wrong but I'm adventurous. BUT I've scaled 53k and some change and more on mine more than once. Zero issues this far. But I could see long term issues with it being done on a regular basis. I'm not giving advice just experience. I like to find limits I...
Finally found the loaded weight. Fyi its had more than that on it. Only once did it fail to dump. But it was way overloaded with crushed limestone.
