Read articles →This video follows one owner's specific problem, a poorly dumping ATV trailer collecting scrap under a barrel screener, and how he replaces it with a skid-steer-style dump hopper on his LS tractor. He actually runs the tractor, tests lift height, curl function, and dump clearance with a partial load, and reports real RPM numbers. Best for firewood operation owners curious whether a multi-purpose bucket/dump hopper will work with a smaller tractor.
A partner/sponsored video from the Hometown Acres channel, where the creator discloses a promotional discount code and acknowledges the company provided the product, so expect a positive framing alongside the hands-on testing.
Yes, the tractor lifted and curled the hopper at 1,500 to 2,000 RPM with no problem, even performing both functions at once, and ejected the material.
Fully elevated, the bottom of the dump hopper is only two or three feet off the ground, though shaking it out could reach four or five feet.
The owner says the hopper holds at least twice as much material as the old Ultra Tech dump trailer could hold.
