Josh Hovis builds a plywood-and-pine wedge to keep limestone from clumping at the tailgate while dumping, then tests it over several loads, troubleshooting jams from roots and adjusting speed and gate gap. Useful mainly for owners doing driveway or trail maintenance with a dump trailer, not for tractor shopping.
Posted by the Josh Hovis channel, an owner sharing a practical, hands-on workaround from their own property maintenance work.
Josh Hovis built a wedge from scrap plywood and pine that sits in the trailer so material moves around it instead of sticking at the tailgate.
A jam happened because roots had grown into the limestone load, clogging the gap left at the tailgate.
Josh Hovis leaves about a two inch gap on the tailgate, and says the wedge works well as long as the right material runs through.
