1 Year With a Dump Trailer: Is It Worth It? | For Property Owners and DIYers

After a full year of using this Southland dump trailer, I'm giving my honest verdict — every project, every haul, and everything I'd change.
Sponsored by Southland Trailers and Laurel

In this video I cover a year's worth of real use: hauling branches and yard debris, dump runs, top soil and gravel for landscaping, loading a Bobcat S650 skid steer and mini excavator, tearing off a deck and removing concrete for a home addition, cutting firewood, and more. I also break down the trailer specs, the mods I made, what I'd improve, and whether a dump trailer makes sense for a DIYer, property owner, or contractor.

Trailer specs:
7' wide x 14' long
3,740 lb empty weight
17,421 lb GVWR
Two 8,000 lb axles
12,000 lb rated scissor jack
Aluminum ramps (~35 lbs)
Built-in tarp, solar charging, D-ring tie-downs, lower sidewall option
