Thanks for watching and your comment. I've done a few more changes to the dump cart since I shot this video and it's works much better. If you want to see what I've done, check out this video of mine: --> ua-cam.com/video/07I2hHdrIKQ/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching.I think this is what you are asking. Since both front and rear axles are rigidly attached to the bottom frame, the tongue basically "hinges" on the front axle to allow the wheels and the whole cart to follow the terrain to a certain degree. The 2 part linkage on the tongue keeps the tandem 17P cart from flipping over backwards when the load is raised to dump (see it in action around 21 sec. mark) and when going up and over a bump. I will be modifying the 17P again in the near future and will be exchanging the rigid axles to a walking beam system which will hopefully follow the terrain better. My current setup is really OK for flat areas but I have a bunch of dirt to transfer to another area and the path is now smooth.
Nice job! Trying To Build A Cart Like it. It definitely beats shoveling. Curious to know lenght of cart, and hydraulic cylinder when retracted and stroke. Thanks either way.
Luis Alvarez Thanks for watching! The base frame is 26" W x 40" L and the tub of the cart is approximately 39" W x 58" L x 15" D. The 18" stroke cylinder has an eye to eye distance of 26". Note: Since this video I have modified the tongue and dropped the front of the hydraulic cylinder 3" more to give a little more lifting force at the start. I'll post another video of it when I go and use it again.
Can you explain the 2 part linkage between the tongue and the base frame? What is the advantage over a rigid connection between the two? I'm sure there is a reason - since you clearly know what you're doing. I just want to understand it if, Heaven forbid, I should ever try to fab one of these for myself. Thanks in advance and thanks for sharing this video. Awesome build!

I had the same question as Tee Jay and read this and got it. I have a 1026R with the 17 poly cart and will be doing this same thing to mine soon. Thanks and love all of your videos. FYI, just purchased a new home on 21 acres so will be looking at the new 2038R soon to buy and keep my 1026 for other attachments.
Thanks for watching. Congrats on your new home and I sure that your 1026R and 17P will get a workout. I guess I should shoot another video of my 17P will the recent mods that I done to it. Updated to a forked tongue arrangement and lowered the front of the cylinder to go it a bit more oomph at the start of the dump.
Thanks for watching! The "SE" stands for "Special Edition" of the X748 tractor. The SE had the following extras as a package: Front Brush Guard, Front Fenders, Deluxe High Back Seat and Styled "Spoked" Wheels with a Green Pin Stripe.
Very creative design, nice work!
THANKS and thanks for watching!
This is very cool!
Thanks for watching and your comment!
Like what you've done. Great job!
THANKS!
I really like it. Finally no more shoveling to get material unloaded from the cart.
Absolutely love what you've done here. Deere should probably do this from the factory.

Sweet, can't wait to see the modifications. Have a good weekend
What is the bore and stroke of the cylinder that you used?
Thanks for watching and your query! The cylinder has a 3" bore and a 20" stroke.
What does the se mean for the x748?
