That would be the perfect dump trailer for me. I just need something for occasional use around the farm. I agree with you about "attention to detail". That was one of the first lessons that were stressed to me when I was in the Navy working on airplanes.
Agree with your points 100% Hank. You were right to take the deal but there's a lot to be desired. Most disappointing are the things that wouldn't have cost more to do right like you said. I was comparing to my 7x14 dump trailer I bought a couple years ago and there are definitely clear misses.
Good morning. Down the road, you could sandblast and properly seal, primer and paint or powder coat. Weld in extra crossmembers, then skin bed and walls to get thickness to 7 gauge. Now before saying that you can/ could get another trailer, youve got that one. Those upgrades could strengthen the trailer and keep it from getting dented up from thin metal. Not hating just my couple of cents. It's a entry dump trailer with a awesome price point.
Bought a 7x14 homesteader and have very few complaints. Yes the paint sucks but it’s a tool not gonna be pretty when your dumping rock and what not in it. Tires that come on them suck always flat. Swapped those with 14 ply tires no issues since. Mine has the dual cylinder lift on it and it will dump what ever you put in it. Guy at the stone yard put 6.5 ton on me on accident and it dumped it fine. I use mine several times a month. Hauled many a machine in it. So far I’m very happy with mine. I didn’t opt for the tarp kit im going to put my own on and use a dump truck tarp arm to bring tarp over the bed. I think the trailer will treat you fine.
How boutcha Hank.. I have watched your channel for a little over a year now under a different account, and I noticed you are pretty knowledgeable about TYM tractors. I am STILL trying to decide between a TYM T25, and a Solis H24 with cab. My question is regarding the 3rd function setup. My understanding, the TYM uses a full 3rd function valve, and the Solis uses a diverter valve. My question is, how much does this effect the usefulness of this feature. I know both "work", but is the full 3rd function worth the extra money? I know you are a busy man, but thanks for the reply
Hey Hank you are right you always get what you pay for ,but it will be ok for occasional use ,and hey the repairs will make good content for us😅😅😅. Your dump fee,s are reasonable here in Adelaide ive paid 85$for a 4x6trailer of broken brick,and 45$for 4x6 trailer of tree cuttings 😮😮.Roadside dumping is a major issue here in sth Australia because of the high cost of going to the dump. Enjoyed this evaluation ,your opinions always seem fair and balanced Kym Adelaide
That trailer isn't that bad! Heck my dump trailer is 4x8 lol single axle. But tell ya what I use it all the time. It's great for getting into small spots. And I fill the thing with broken concrete and rock all the time. Trade ya if you want! 😅
Don't load heavy on front. Or you'll be shoveling alot! You're a right single cydiling in the is best. I got 2 friends 16x7 dumps I cussed all the time!
Hank, that was a good deal money wise for the 7x16 trailer. it needs some tlc, butt it is ur trailer that u can just put a side until u will use it again..
Hank all you need now is a american flag tarp for that trailer and you would be set. There is a usa company that makes them for dumptrucks, end dump trailers and such i cant remember the name of them right off my head.
I live near Paris powersports, and looked at them trailers and they aren’t very high quality. They got finance houses to do like lot financing type deal. Basically people with bad credit bought the crap out of them at over $500 a month, with no business plan. You can get a hold of the finance company’s and buy rhe repos cheap. Im not knocking the dealer because terrrible lending is everywhere, but the trailers didn’t hold up tp the length of the loan. I bought mine in Clarksville Tn.
I predict a phone call from Homestead Implements asking you to clarify that they are in no way related to Homestead trailers. And surprised you didn't lead the video headline with that. Especially considering your previous experience with the two different Titan Implements, with one changing their name to Ironcraft to escape the ill will that the Chinese importers brought on the name.
I bought a "new " trailer few months before i moved I wasn't super impressed with the quality once i got done moving my house and stuff i sold it bought a nicer used trailer put work into it the quality of these trailers is lacking if im honest unless u spend 12 grand plus for a basic equipment trailer i guess i was spoiled by me and my late father who was a fabricator and the trailers we built really strong and didnt cut corners
Made ion the USA by a lazy employ... It's sad to say but made in the USA doesn't mean it's built better than over seas. The days where people in the US took pride in their work is failing in many ways....
Come on Hank, really? I’ll buy that trailor from you today. You stole the dang thing and all I heard were complains. Whoopi do ,, A screw fell out. Say it ain’t so…. You can do better buddy.
@@hhamilton1970 I’ll give you $8500 . I’ll drive to Florida and hook it up. I’m in South Central Texas. I didn’t focus on the good stuff cause I didn’t hear any. Let me know my friend.

You may want to check wheel bearings for grease-probably wasn’t greased properly.

Yeah i think so too. Like I said in the video, as little as I use it, I think it will be fine
@14:10 thanks for sharing your first dump with us brother
😂

Third functions are always gonna be better. If you can get the true 3rd function it's a better option

That's right 👍
LETS FREAKING GO. that thing is massive
I like everything about that trailer except the hitch, I myself would put a pintle ball hitch on it. Appreciate the video.
Looking good and God bless y'all
Congrats On Your New Purchase

Yeah Paris Power is a great company to deal with. But the trailer is definitely entry level.
try POR15 metal coating after you wire wheel the rust spots
Great news about the trailer ❤❤
Have a nice weekend.
Well dang!! How long has it been since you borrowed Brandles' dump trailer?
You know what? True Love Travels on a Gravel Road. TCB
Indeed
The geometry on that trailer looks odd. Shoves a lot of weight onto the tongue.
It's relĺy cool 😎

Well since this is a Homesteader not Homestead I don't think they mind
quality does cost....

Yeah I hear ya. 👍
@@hhamilton1970 it's just crazy the prices they want for sub par products in my mind nowadays 😅
Platinum makes a better trailer but cost you more . That about the worse one I ever seen . However if it suits your purpose it's fine .
😂

Well if you got all them complaints about it why did you even buy it
I say exactly why I bought it in the video
Come on Hank, really? I’ll buy that trailor from you today. You stole the dang thing and all I heard were complains. Whoopi do ,, A screw fell out. Say it ain’t so…. You can do better buddy.
Ok, I'll sell it to you. $12,000 and it's yours. I guess you fast forwarded through the "pros" stuff and just focused on the "cons" stuff
@@hhamilton1970
I’ll give you $8500 . I’ll drive to Florida and hook it up. I’m in South Central Texas. I didn’t focus on the good stuff cause I didn’t hear any. Let me know my friend.
I'll pass on that offer 👍
