I got my first dump insert in 1999. It was an ez dumper. It was decent. Sold it after I got newer truck that had a aluminum truck craft insert. I really liked the truck craft. Now in my truck I have a steel truck craft insert I got used. I wouldn't be in biz without one. I don't need dump truck and this set up is perfect for me.
Love my dumper dogg!! I have 8ft steel dumper dogg in a 17 reg cab f250 along with a 7x12 dump trailer. It’s a great combo when it comes to landscaping. The rust will appear depending on how much u use it. Leaving mulch or grass in the insert is not the best thing for the steel, it will cause the paint bubble and eventually flake and rust. I take mine out at the beginning of winter to plow. Four bolts, and couple of wire connections, and the use of the fork truck from the dealer who installed it for me. Load it into my dump trailer that will sit dormant for the winter. Bottom line the dumper dogg is worth the money. Saves time and makes money for ur business, after ur initial purchase of course.
When I had my landscaping business I had an 8ft Cam Superline dump insert with sideboards on my 1500 Dodge Single cab. I had added leaf springs to supplement the weight of the insert. Springs added 800lbs of capacity which was the weight of the insert so worked out well. Would have gotten air bags if I did it again. Was there perfect set up for a small operation. Brian, i Love the truck, insert and trailer. Keep up the great videos!
These dump inserts are great, we use a product called a Load Handler. It fits over the top of the tailgate and then lay the tarp out in the bed of the truck. When we are full (often times up to 5 cubic yards of grass/leaves) we hand crank it out. Works well and for the price of around $200 plus shipping. You just cant beat it for this price, especially as a new start up company. I also recommend the double-mat and put the slick side up for easier unloading. My next truck, I want to have the bed removed and a dump box installed. Great videos, keep them coming Bryan! - Philip in Billings
You can get a “load handler” at harbor freight for $50, they are only rated to 2k lbs, I have one, that we modified. I carry 4000-4500lbs of crushed concrete regularly. Works ok, bit tough to crank out, thinking of getting a dump insert.
Great video Brian, I went with a dump trailer! More room to haul more, more weight capacity, but the only bad thing is we need to have 2 units one for the equipment trailer and one for the dump trailer.
Thanks Brian. This is a great video for a long term review. Everything is great when it's new but rarely do you see a video like this. This is a fantastic video.
I wanted a dump insert initially, but my local dump is about 35 minutes away. I heavily prioritized the amount I could carry in one go so that I could fit as many leaf cleanups, pruning, tree removal jobs as I possibly could. That lead me to buying a 7x14 dump trailer this year. I no longer waste time at the dump pitch forking junk out for an hour and my back is saved.
My 8' Standard cab F250 just came in tonight. I plan on setting up the same way. Billy Goat on the front of trailer with Dumper Dogg for the same reason you said. I have a 14' open trailer. Doing leaf clean ups we would bring the stand on mower to mulch and zero turn to bag. But then we would load up the trailer with the leaves and have no room for the mowers. We would have to drive to our dumping site and blow out all the leaves which as you know takes a long time and then have to go back for the mower which was a waste of time. I was only able to do one or two clean ups a day. I am hoping with this set up to be able to do more in a day. The delay in getting the truck due to computer chip shortage is a time set back and hoping I will be able to get it set up for this fall. Thank you for your videos that gave me the idea for this ideal setup for my needs.
Such an awesome helpful video thanks for sharing! I wish my tundra could handle one of these but it’s a half ton. I need something like this for fall leaf cleanups. I know all about the manual loading and unloading of material at the dump and at clients houses it’s tough to shovel it out and load. I’m researching this stuff now before I even worry about an enclosed trailer setup.
yes, I have the Buyers Dumper Dogg dump insert, I have the 8foot on my f250 and I like it for what it allows us to do. I am looking at the 6foot for my f350, but I have to make sure I can fit my fisher sander inside the 6foot. We use it for fall cleanup leaf collections, and we haul mulch/loam/fill with it, we just needed to watch the weight on the 8foot as you can really see the springs on the f250 flatten out when loading it up. the one thing I do not like is the alarm button that I have to keep resetting after I dump the contents of whatever I am carrying. the alarm sensor sits on a "L" bracket on mine and the bracket gets bent down with the weight, and I have to bend it up after I empty the dump body. One of the other things is when you are dumping you need to make sure the lower latches (the items that hold the tailgate in place) are not pointed down as they will dig into your bumper plastic cover and break it. if you have a V nose enclosed trailer you also have to make sure the latches are pointed up or forward or they will punch holes in your trailer on sharp turns. if you drop the tailgate all the way down and raise the dump body you will bend your tailgate as it catches on the trailer hitch as the dump body is raised. so these are all the items I have come across with my 8foot. yes I am getting another one as soon as I confirm that my fisher sander will fit inside of it as it is a valuable piece of equipment for my business. only rust is on the inside of the dump body and nothing on the outside. I have the steel with the cab protector and tarp as well. I bought it last season (2020) and I take off the wooden boards in the winter to get more visibility while plowing. One thing is that I added a smaller gauge screen to keep items from blowing through the grate at the front of the dump body. Overall I am very happy with the product and I got it after seeing it on your channel.
We ran Tip Offs in the 80s no hydraulics ran on tracks no problem dumping grass we bagged then here in florida so we did land fill runs daily great for mulch even fill dirt for that matter we had 8ft bed reg cab trucks . Weight was never a issue just back up tap the brake and there she goes .Dont even know if still available . easy to remove with a couple guys and a couple saw horses .and never had to pitch fork grass out because hydro would not lift like some of my buddies .
Even after a year, your videos are helping people! Quick question if you could answer: Would this work/fit/have any issues on a 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500? 6ft bed. Thanks, Brian! You rock brother!
Year 6 with my 8ft buyers. If hauling/ dumping dirt/ stone of any kind you need to be very careful. It can hold 1yd of material but must be loaded in center of bed. If the load is to one side it will want to lean that way when lifting and could cause damage. Still works great and is a game changer for a solo owner/operator. I am considering air bags to help level out truck. when loaded full of grass/leaves and pulling Enclosed trailer with leaf vac on front, the truck sits lower for sure.
Been battling with a dump trailer or insert. Plan on getting a 2500 this year and since I’m still solo, I figure an insert is still the best as I’ll need to get storage for a dump trailer.
I have a question about capacity… How many residential properties can you mulch the leaves and fit in the 6’ DD? My properties run between 6,000 a 10,000 sq ft
How’d it effect gas mileage? Obviously if route density is tight it’s not too big of an issue but as an owner/operator who uses the truck for work and personal I’m weighing whether or not it’s worth it to me for my future work truck.
Hey Brian I've got a question do you have any idea how much the cab guard sticks out above the top of the cab? thinking about getting one and would like the cab guard for the extra space with sides/ tarp roller, but I need to be able to fit though a garage door to hook up my trailer.
Hey Brian love the vids you help a lot! But hey so next spring do the customers tell you when they need their first mow? Or do you just have them on the schedule?
I want one, I currently have an F150 with the 5.5’ box, not ideal but whatever. I’ll be getting some F250s as soon as possible, but even then to tow gooseneck might be an issue. Do they hook to fifth wheel rails? The trucks I’ll be leasing have the rails but no prep package from Ford.
What would you rather go with a 21 cc or a 25 cc for a weed eater if you’ve been mowing your whole life and want to start a business I just want a opinion or your thoughts
Hey Guys, How far does the insert stick out past the normal tailgate opening on the truck? I haul a lawn applicator machine on a platform on the truck hitch. Just want to know if it will interfere?
How much weight can your units hydraulic system lift? I do a lot of stone work and 57 stone is roughly 2500 lbs per yd. Right now I put 3.5 yds in my 99 7.3. will that hydraulic lift 12k lbs cause obviously the insert will hold more than my bed can. I'd like to be able to fill 5 yds. And yes, my truck has heavy duty leafs and airbags. I'm just tired of shoveling stone from my bed.
I don't own any of the three yet, but I would think that a dump truck would be the best for a lawn setup. If you're doing hardscaping, then you'll want the dump trailer. To get started in the "game" though, I can see the dump insert being realistic for many. So I think it's a progression of where you are in business.
I don’t own any of the three, I’ll buy a trailer but want a dump insert too. Just as you said, with one truck it’s nice to haul equipment where you need it to be at the same time. The trailer will be for bigger jobs
@@darthcccc5006 so right though, I’ll end up getting a trailer first because I only have an F150 so this won’t fit but you’re right. All of them will make you money
This would be very useful to me. But sadly as just a property owner I cant afford the next truck to install it in. Better yet I could afford but I will not pay 40 plus grand on a depreciating asset.
I like a lot of what you do...but I would never get that bed insert that you did. I only mow once or twice a week but no matter what spend $3,800 on an insert or spend $9,700 on an actual trailer...spend the extra for a 12-14 foot trailer.
I have a 8ft dumper dogg I love the thing but its built out of tinfoil the cab guard should be thicker steel. I don't have new truck but it is nice and I get nervous with some operators loading it. The floor could also be thicker mine is getting beat up from hauling stone. I also don't like how high it sits in the bed I'd like it to be a little lower. Also if the cab guard was taller and the space between the cab and the d.d was closer it would look nicer.
I’d be worried about going over weight on the truck. At 800 lbs. it eats up a lot of payload. You’ll have to check your door stickers to see what your payload is. But if you got 2,000 lbs payload. You put that insert in. Your at 1,200. And a 200 lbs driver. Your at 1,000. Another crew member or 2. You’re at 1,400 or 1,600 lbs. plus a 3,000 lbs trailer. You’ve got like 100 lbs before you’re over weight. I would really recommend going with a dually. Like a f450 or 4500 with a wide track front axle
I did a in depth video on Dump Insert vs Dump Trailer vs Dump Truck vs Load Handler and the pro's and con's on them all for anyone interested in more information on this subject. Maybe Brian can pin this up.
