The video covers load estimates, a hydraulic fitting leak fix, tailgate pin annoyances, and honest trial-and-error dumping on grade. Light on TYM-specific content; best for dump trailer curious viewers.
An owner-operator channel sharing genuine hands-on experience from their own 38-acre property, though the dump trailer featured is a paid sponsorship.
The 42-inch bucket holds 6.5 cubic feet, estimated at about 650 to 700 pounds per bucket since the gravel was wet and small.
The TYM 4820 has 108 hours with no issues reported, and the owner calls it a great machine so far.
A rear remote hydraulic female end that had never been used would not stop leaking, possibly from dirt, so it was swapped for a spare end Mechmax provided.
The tailgate uses heavy pins that work well but are hard to get back in after dumping, and the owner says he is not a fan of that latch design.
