Your that guy on the hwy spitting gravel off the trailer…… nice. I’m glad you made this video. While the people behind you all need new windshields. One question genius how do you get the tarp out from underneath the gravel……. And would you Ming taking a broom to your route from the aggregate yard to your yard….everyone that needed a Ned windshield will thank you.
@@ruckinehround6965. I had side rails and a back rail that I took off for the video. Thanks for your engagement in my video. You should start asking questions instead of assuming. But you do you boo. Keep being a sarcastic anal Schwab.
@@PainterD54. I hooked the truck to the strap and pulled it the other way over the gravel. FYI. It is the fastest way to unload it. That is all. No more no less. I had to make it to the yard before it closed. For 8 yards in one night after work. I successfully completed the objective.
@@lifeonthefarm6001. You Sir are the only one that actually thought about how the tarp might be shredded. It wasn’t. I have used it for 10 loads. I hook it up to the truck with the same strap and pull it over itself. Works great. Part 2 would be a good idea but this video was solely for the purpose of unloading it quickly so I could make it back to the gravel yard again before it closed. 2 loads after work. Winning.
If you grab the tarp at the front of the trailer it rolls it over and doesn’t drag the tarp so the tarp doesn’t get work out as bad, plus you end up with the tarp on top of the pile.
Not really. As it starts to roll it'll start to pour out the sides and you'll have a mess. I have a dump truck so these methods seem silly but if you only have a trailer I can understand doing this but pulling from the front isn't going to work on a trailer that long kinda common sense
@@user-fq3mk4os7e Maybe use this idea with a wider tarp and that will keep things moving out the back. I think this would be more realistic with mulch.
And this is why I have a 7'x16' dump trailer. With the included ramps, I can haul equipment like skid loader, excavator, tractor, I can haul material like top soil, sand, gravel, concrete, and of course dump runs or anything else you can think of. When you want to dump material........ It's just a a press of a button.
I only did this one time to let you know if you are in a pinch this literally is the fastest way to unload a load of gravel off of a flat bed trailer. Which is a very common way to haul gravel for a lot of people.
I had 1 hour to deliver the gravel to the ground so I could make it to the gravel yard before they closed. Got the road repaired and got 8 tons for 80 bucks. Fastest and cheapest way period.
Is it even remotely legal to move gravel on a highway on a flat deck trailer in the first place? Solution in search of problem. Get a tandem to deliver gravel, problem solved.
Well, I say solution in search of a problem and then problem solved, which sounds/is stupid, but “wrong tool for the job” definitely applies here. If you need an amount so small that it fits unconstrained on a flat bed trailer there are plenty of guys with one and 2 ton dump trucks or you can just buy one ex rural municipal government for less than what that flat deck trailer costs.
We’ll hear is the solution. Keep unloading gravel like this when I don’t have a dump truck or any family or friends that have anything even close to what I have. First generation farmer bro. With a full time job and family. Gotta know when to drop a few thou and when not to. All my family and friends call me when they need something. Guess who says I would love to help you with all of these blessings that the lord has provided me with. Oh yea,this guy. Keep trollin.
Not a very fast way when you have to first plant a tree and then wait 15 years for it to grow enough to be an anchor point..... Now you still have to shovel all that gravel off the tarp; which takes longer than shoveling it off a trailer bed because one, you have to move the gravel in an upward motion whereas on the trailer it is a downward motion (less work by far, I've done both) and two, you have to be careful not to ruin/tear the tarp while shoveling the gravel when the trailer bed requires no such worry.
Sorry I forgot to post part two. It involves driving the opposite direction using the same strap going over the gravel. Took about 2 minutes to set up and about 20 seconds to drive away. I thought that was common sense. Smarter not harder.
@@ChaseThePinballWizard. With that being said, I suppose I have to wait for the people to mind the metal to build my trailer and the rubber for the tires. Your logic is whack.
I though about something similar with wood, but now I realize the problem is it's on the ground on top of the tarp or what ever you use. Maybe unhook, park truck perpendicular to trailer and use come-along to flip trailer on side (if wheels could handle) or end to end like a dump. But at least you are thinking of new ways. Well done!
I pulled the tarp the other way over the load. Worked out great. I just did not film it because I thought it was obvious. Sorry. I was able to get 2 loads before they closed.
I just drive my tractor on the trailer and scoop it off. I have rear jacks on all my trailers so I can drive the tractor on without tip the trailer. With 4x4 engaged, I don't need ramps, the tractor just walks right up and in......
Put a piece of plywood on the ground, with mortar blocks on one end to angle it up at one end. Dump onto the angled plywood, using the technique in the video. The material slides down the plywood into the hole or wherever.
Hmm... now you have to shovel the gravel off the tarp.
@@deansarkela917. Why would I shovel it off? That’s dumb.
That's why I bought my 1974 Chevy c20 dump truck for 800 dollars.
They got these things called dump truck
@@johndorazio3759. Do you own one?
Most of the commenters in here aren’t any smarter than the tarp!
@@BillHunclebuncle. How can a tarp be smart? It’s just a tarp.
So why the fuck didn’t you just use the tractor in the back ground and just get it done bro. Time wasted

@@vdong1112 I don't have problems with gravel haulers, I stay back and give them some space. Everyone is in a hurry.
But you still have to get that tarp out from under all the gravel! You didn't think things thru did you?

Part two: how to get your tarp out from under the gravel. Part three: how to dispose of your brand new shredded tarp lol.

@@vdong1112 You’re doing good there’s no way I could do that lol.
Throw some dismantled cardboard boxes under the tarp before pick up to lower friction at initial move.
Now, do you shovel the material off the tarp? 🤔
No. Pull the tarp back up and over the pile with the same tube steel
Great idea! Plastic tarps are cheap too. This would work even better on a hydraulic tilt trailer. Thanks for the tip.
Pretty sure hiring a dump truck to dump it would be the easiest way. I just happen to be fresh out of both of those options.
Now the gravel is on the plastic tarpaulin, what next?
Went and got another load before they closed
@@vdong1112 That was very clever, because if the gravel pit closes, you won't get any more gravel. So you have a second tarp, that's smart. 😃
If you grab the tarp at the front of the trailer it rolls it over and doesn’t drag the tarp so the tarp doesn’t get work out as bad, plus you end up with the tarp on top of the pile.

Thanks. I don’t have one. I have this. I designed it to run off of a winch and has been working for a year or so.
Nice. Can I borrow it?

Road was repaired that evening. Done.

Weight of load? Tnx
4 tons

I am about 1/2 mile from the highway. You just trying to be a negative Nancy.
Gravel is cheap, delivery is were it costs money. If you already have a trailer unloading this way saves a lot of money.
Just for longevity if you had tow straps sewn into base of the tarp and the seam should be strong too, Good work,

Excellent 👏
How did you secure the tarp to the lumber??
I put the tarp on the trailer. Put the bar on the tarp then folded the tarp over the trailer again making it 2 layers of tarp.
What type of tarp did you use and where did you get it ? Thanks Brilliant idea !
It’s road grade tarp. I think any good quality tarp will do. Just double layer it like I did and make sure your trailer is very clean and wet.
I though about something similar with wood, but now I realize the problem is it's on the ground on top of the tarp or what ever you use. Maybe unhook, park truck perpendicular to trailer and use come-along to flip trailer on side (if wheels could handle) or end to end like a dump. But at least you are thinking of new ways. Well done!
Throw the same set up strap over the load and hook it to truck or tractor and drive away. Voila done. I should have posted part 2. Sorry.
Sweet now you have a tarp under a shitload of gravel
I pulled the tarp the other way over the load. Worked out great. I just did not film it because I thought it was obvious. Sorry. I was able to get 2 loads before they closed.
Hell yeah! That work clean
Great idea. I'm going to try something similar but using old conveyor belt.
Great Idea
i use a simmilar technique with the strat under the plastic to make it "roll" out... and I also have a tractor at my disposal
@Alec Rayan both of y'all are bots. Fuck off
I just drive my tractor on the trailer and scoop it off. I have rear jacks on all my trailers so I can drive the tractor on without tip the trailer. With 4x4 engaged, I don't need ramps, the tractor just walks right up and in......
Nice. I like that idea
Check out my new wireless dump trailer. It works great.
@@vdong1112 wow. Impressive! That wireless winch seems to work great with that setup
Huh u have to shovel the same amount
I use my tractor as a shovel. My tractor cannot get all of the gravel off of the trailer but it can push it around on the ground.
Put a piece of plywood on the ground, with mortar blocks on one end to angle it up at one end. Dump onto the angled plywood, using the technique in the video. The material slides down the plywood into the hole or wherever.
This is so dumb.
@@vdong1112 - I agree a bought a 25hp small tractor a few years ago, love it
I pulled the tarp the opposite direction up and over. It worked great.
