Wagoneer81 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Inspiring!!! I will build one..... someday.....maybe...after numerous other projects get done... Well, maybe sooner. I have a Paystar 5000 tractor that'll need an appropriate trailer and this would be appropriate! Very well done! Thank you for posting your drawings and decal artwork and for posting such a well detailed build tutorial! I think we'll see more of these trailers in the future.

olsbooks Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Darn nice job! Gotta save some pennies and get one of those miter rite boxes.... Probably would pay for itself in reduced material, sandpaper, and certainly would reduce less than optimal verbal outbursts. Especially for a bonehead like myself that cant measure or cut worth a hoot despite measuring over and over. Thanks also for the info on the oscilating fifth wheel. Didn't have those in my day. Nice. But is the trailer more likely to lean if unevenly loaded? Impressive job friend. Are you gonna have the door operate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truck parts Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Great build ,and thank you for the plans. Maybe some day I will try to build one.Hope it will turn out half as nice as yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Corey Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Thanks for the kind words guys. Originally I thought about making the hopper doors and fifth wheel workable, but I ultimately decided to keep them fixed in place. I'm not sure if these things are prone to tipping... but a lot of the load sits down at the bottom of the hopper so it probably has a low center of gravity.
