Move piles of stuff after using FEL or bucket?

What about something like this?

That’s pretty slick, would make a killer sled

Here are a couple threads on my solutions to this problem:

Little Dump Trailer

Picked this up yesterday, should make moving dirt easier, or ay least quicker. It's kinda banged up, spent half the day pounding out dents & straightening things. It's rated at 1000# & 12cu ft.. It's best feature is the no flat tires, but not sure why anyone would pick blue tires on red rims for...

Dump trailer recommendations?

The CFO has OK'd researching a dump trailer for our place in the high country. I have watched the ads for a couple decades and found that used ones are either completely trashed, or priced within a couple hundred dollars of a new one. So we have decided to go with a new one, but need some input...

Reminds me of my rock skid/boat, but a lot easier to handle, but I think mine will haul bigger rocks:

How did you get the rock onto the sled? I don’t have a FEL or BH so hopefully you can provide a way that doesn’t require those.

Nice man. That’s pretty cool. Now can you register that for the road where you live?

Since its right hand drive it need to be 25 years old before I can use it on the road. Mine is a 2003 so in 2028 its road legal. I could have bought a older one and drive it on the road.

canadian? If so; I'm surprised it could be imported without being 25 years old.

A lot of time I used the FEL, but sometimes I used a 6ft digging bar to lever them on to the skid.
On one particularly large one, I wrapped a chain around it & dragged it onto the skid.

Where do you push the snow?
Can't do that kinda stuff in Michigan.

Nice. By 2028 the world will be “all electric”

Yes, we can import 15 years olds car and drive them on the road only if they are left hand drive. If they are right hand drive like mine you have to wait 25 years and they become antics. Quite stupid law if you ask me.

My plan is to convert it to electric down the road.

Those pics were early on in the process of raising my driveway, before the fill, here is the full thread:

Raising my driveway...

My place up north has always had a little water across the driveway when it rains heavily, but the county has recently re-graded the roadbeds, ditches, & culverts. We used to get runoff from a couple blocks, now it's more like 1 1/2 miles. A 16" county culvert brings all this water across my...

As for snow, we have had one snowfall back in '86 that was 42" on the flat, (long before I had a tractor) but since then, no more than 16" or 18", so I just drive through it.
Plus, it doesn't last long out here.
