Couple of videos my kids took of us using the new Gator to haul gravel into a trail, it was getting pretty rutted up from the mud as you'll see in the video but the Gator never spun a wheel and it was hauling an easy ton+ of gravel, super tough machine. The video didn't upload well so it's choppy in a couple of spots and the sound cuts out, but otherwise you'll get the jist.

I'm glad to see others working their Gators and don't treat them like cream puffs.

Yesterday the bed of mine hauled 4 loads of rock, 10 loads of dirt and a couple of brush and debris. I don't use my trailer much anymore. The Gator moves and dumps so quick it's just not worth the hassle hitching up except for big jobs.

Loading it with the front end loader & track hoe is a big reason why I made a rear partition & window. Dirt & mulch spilling over into the seats is a real PITA.

It's a great trailer, tows nice behind the gator and will haul a good load, it's made by Agro Trend not far from me in Ontario but can likely be found out in Alberta too, here is the website. http://www.agrotrend.com/agro3000.asp

That's why I bought the trailer, to keep the seats in good shape. LOL. Bought this one for work and play so it's got to earn it's keep.

Thanks so much I have been looking for just that type of trailer for some time now just exactly what I need. Is that the agro 3000 dump model you have? Do you have a power pack to operate the hydraulic dump or is it electric?

Yes that is the 3000, it comes with lines to hook to remotes on a tractor but I had a powerpack from princess auto that I attached to it, works awesome.

Thanks that's exactly what I thought right down to the power pack from princess auto too funny.i talked to the western sales rep for agro trend and they have a 3000 (in john deere green) out here I can look at. Thanks so much this is the kind of trailer I have been looking for.

The power pack I have is double acting so it's power up and power down, works better than gravity down as the box doesn't weigh very much so it would likely be slow. They trailer has removable sides which is nice for big stuff but they can blow and/or bounce off on rough terrain so I just drilled a hole through the middle stake and stake pocket on each side and put a bolt in, and I changed the hinge bolts on the tailgate to quick release pins so that you can take the gate off quickly, it swings up so firewood and bulky stuff get hung up on it. Just a couple of quick mods and it's perfect.

I had a butt load of wood stacked in mine yesterday. Up to to top of the roll cage lol. My buddy has a 625 gator and his hauls too. Very impressed.

The next person that has their Gator really loaded should take a picture and start a thread. We'll see who's carrying what and who can pile it the highest.

I agree, I should have taken a pic but didn't have my phone.
