I bought the Bwise DU15 Ultimate Dump trailer. Its capacity is 14 yards, payload 10k. I didn't know anything about trailers and bought it to haul food waste and compost. I have on many occasions loaded it with 20k lbs of wet compost/topsoil blend. I'm more careful now. I still do load it with up to 10 yards of compost on occasion, if it's dry enough. I've had to shovel out a few yards of compost when the lift wouldn't budge. I was a really bad driver at first and beat the hell out of it, sometimes with very heavy loads. I broke the suspension a few times and went through a lot of tires before I learned what I needed. I have upgraded to 7 leaf slipper springs, stronger u-bolts, and 14 ply tires, and I haven't had an issue since. I need to upgrade the axles from 6k to 8k soon, the front one is a little bent. After two years of heavy, near daily use, I need new brakes. The only rust is from where I damaged the trailer. It gets driven on salted roads a lot in the winter. I've put the trailer through hell, and I'm pretty amazed it's doing so well now that I understand how hard I've been on it.
I've read where those trailers have some really awesome features amd built like a tank. I'm glad it's homing up well, all considering haha. That is one hell of a load! I've seen a few in person, but never used one for any loads. The tail gate design looks really nice. I would probably rip those hydro hoses off haha. Thanks for the comment!
As a former inspector for Big Tex Trailers, I can honestly say be leery of Big Tex. From the welds to the overall build it's substandard in my opinion. I was a tough inspector and was let go because of it. Supervisors said I knit picked over their trailers. The way I looked at it was those trailers travel up and down the same highways our families and friends travel and I wanted them right. Big Tex is more about getting numbers, quantity over quality.
Thank you for the honest response. I've seen the welds and powder cost first hand and I also thought both were subpar compared to other trailers. Pj was not much better. As one dealer for multiple brands told me, pj and big tex spend the money on marketing and not in building quality trailers.
@@PheasantLaneFarm If you hear of any trailer manufacturer who is looking for a inspector who has a eye for detail and is tough please pass my number to them. 903 285 4013. I'm willing to relocate.
@@PheasantLaneFarm Update: I start work next week at Diamond C in Mt. Pleasant Texas. I'm not in Quality Assurance but I'm going to be a Press Brake Operator.
I had the same experience with Suretrac, 8 months after buying the powder coat peeled off. And it was sitting in a garage! Moritz now and never looking back.
Moritz makes a good product. I heard they are switching from paint to powder soon. I hope it works for them. Friend dropped of an older Moritz horse trailer.today for us to use. Funny that my parents were the dealer that sold it 30 yrs ago.
I bought a moritz 14ft 14k a few years ago. I don’t use it in the winter at all but Its still starting to rust being it’s not powder coated. That’s the only thing I dislike about it.
At least you can hit it with a wire wheel, some cheap primer and paint. Once yhe powder coat starts to peal there isnt much you can do. Moritz does make a very strong trailer.
Thanks for the info very helpful. I’m also shopping for a trailer and a dump would be nice. I also need to haul my Kubota 3901 with bucket around. Need to do a little more research.
Thats the same tractor I have. I plan on doing a video soon thats more in depth abiut the trailer, cost, options and how well the tractor fits. Just oicked it up last night so it may be a few days.
I live in alaska ,we constantly have snow and salt on the road ..anyone have any thoughts on witch one I should buy, I need a trailer that wont really rust
I was say either a galvanized or one with a really good powder coat system. I feel diamond c and Midsota have a good system. And I think Bwise and Midsota both offer galvanized trailers.
It took about 6 weeks to get mine. There blaming everything on this covid crap. I'm currently unemployed because of it. Not sure if it will pick back up. At least my wife is still working good and has me covered on her insurance. On the good side of things I could open a small business doing small jobs and work for myself
@@crazyfarmer2564 I'm sorry to hear about that. Im thankful if something ever happened with my job I could also be covered under my wife's insurance. Scary part is no one knows when things will get back to normal, if ever.
That's a shame. I saw some new trailers where the welds were horrible. Sadly that doesn't surprise me. For the price you shouldn't be having these issues. Thanks for the comment J Lo.
PJ is total junk. Had the whole A frame under the trailer bend out after the connecting intermediate rail broke at welds. Had to weld and use Hydraulics to pull back together. Also, the square tube rails are very thin and always crack near fender welds
There were some I didn't mention that were lower price points. Liberty trailers are a cheaper option. Big tex was another cheaper option of the ones I looked at. Moritz and Diamond C were higher on the price list at most dealers.
A friend has a 16ft Ironbull gooseneck dump. He's beat the hell out of it and it's going strong. Loadtrail makes a very nice trailer. Their fit and finish is very nice. I don't hear many who have complaints about them. Ive looked them over and would have no issue pulling one. I've never seen a Texas pride up close. Guys who have them love them. They are built like a tank, but with that they are a bit heavier than other trailers on thr market. I wouldn't hesitate to pull any of them.
Bwise is a very well built trailer. They have some really nice and innovative options. As far as quality, I don't think you can go wrong with either. I would really consider buying either. I've never seen a Bwise in person and they aren't as popular, but guys that own them swear by them. They would both be at the top of my list from my research. Moritz is also a well built trailer, but you get what they make, you can't really get a custom trailer as far as wall height and some other things. I heard good things about Midsota trailers also, but not alot of info on them. The PJ and Big tex did not impress me. Seem to have some issues coming from people I know that own them.
As far as hot dip vs paint, I don't plan on having it in salt enough to push me towards the hot dip. I was usually against powder coat as alot of aces don't have luck with it long term. Diamond C seems to have a very nice process and you don't hear about it peeling like you do on some other trailers. Paint is nice because you can always touch it up if so inclined.
@@PheasantLaneFarm Your video left me with a sense the manufacturer lacked pride in workmanship & quality control that the pin holes didn't align properly & hinge points didn't match up ~ not doing a service to the manufacturer.

Thanks for your review. I found it very useful. looking for a 12ft
At times I wish I had a 12. Especially when I was renting it out and had to get it in some tight places. Amazing difference in what 2 ft makes
N & N trailers are galvanized

Hmm. I just sold a 2015 pj that looked brand new. Happy with mine
I'm glad you had a good one. My friend recently bought a 30 ft PJ flatbed and looks well made.

A tip : you can watch movies on instaflixxer. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Stetson Rodrigo Yup, I've been using instaflixxer for since november myself =)
After owning a diamond c for 3 years and have pulled several other brands for 20+ years, Lamar low pro... has the edge in my opinion.
I've heard they are great trailers.
@@PheasantLaneFarm I appreciate your videos! You guys are honest, business proactive and top notch. Keep up the effort!
@@erichilyard3565 that means alot Eric. Thank you my friend.
PJ, Big Tex, Load Trail are all owned by the same company, American Trailer Works.
I did not know know that. Thanks for the info!
This is incorrect, Load Trail is not owned by ATW,

Raptor line the whole thing,it will last alot longer!
@@davidparker4501 hmm ye might have too
Best review I have seen,
Thank you.
Good summary on the trailer decision. Looking forward to the 6 month review!
Thank you. Thanks for watching!
Could I get the dealers name or website info where you got your trailer ?
@@tomsposato Pine View in Greenwich Ohio. Last I knew they did not have a website, but all the current info is on Google.
I bought a Griffin dump trailer, 7x14x14,000lb. I like it so far. I hauled a yanmar vio35 excavator.
A good friend has one. He's been very happy with it. I called the dealers around me and everyone was sold out and didn't know when more would arrive.
It took about 6 weeks to get mine. There blaming everything on this covid crap. I'm currently unemployed because of it. Not sure if it will pick back up. At least my wife is still working good and has me covered on her insurance. On the good side of things I could open a small business doing small jobs and work for myself

Could you share the name of the dealer you went to to order the dump trailer?
Yes sir. Pine View Trailer sales in Greenwich Ohio
At the company I work for they have four PJ 40’ gooseneck trailer dual tandems and 2 trailers are down with broken welds.
That's a shame. I saw some new trailers where the welds were horrible. Sadly that doesn't surprise me. For the price you shouldn't be having these issues. Thanks for the comment J Lo.

There were some I didn't mention that were lower price points. Liberty trailers are a cheaper option. Big tex was another cheaper option of the ones I looked at. Moritz and Diamond C were higher on the price list at most dealers.
Do you know much info on Ironbull? Load trail? Texas Pride?

I don't hear many who have complaints about them. Ive looked them over and would have no issue pulling one. I've never seen a Texas pride up close. Guys who have them love them.

Congratulations on the dump trailer!
Thanks! I've been wanting one for a long time. Now just seemed like the right time for what we are doing. Thanks for watching!
If you don't mind can you tell me the name of the dealer you were talking about when you were over near PA I'm only 20 miles from Youngstown OH
For the Diamond C? I ended up buying from Pine View. I looked st some other dealers east of there also.
They don't have a website last I checked. There are near Greenwich Ohio.
How does Bwise compare to diamon c?
Bwise is a very well built trailer. They have some really nice and innovative options. As far as quality, I don't think you can go wrong with either. I would really consider buying either. I've never seen a Bwise in person and they aren't as popular, but guys that own them swear by them. They would both be at the top of my list from my research.

What state are you in?
Im in Ohio
Good thing you know how to use the remote , ,, cause your use of manual control pins & levers was clumsy as hell.
Well thanks for the comment. I almost lost my arm in an accident a few weeks prior, but ill try harder next time.
@@PheasantLaneFarm Your video left me with a sense the manufacturer lacked pride in workmanship & quality control that the pin holes didn't align properly & hinge points didn't match up ~ not doing a service to the manufacturer.
@@harveybauer4607 you would be correct that the holes on the ramp doors could have definitely been built better.
He had a major work injury man he did almost lose his arm. I think he's doing awesome for all he's been through.
what about load.trail?
Load Trail makes a solid trailer. I wouldn't hesitate to run one
