Moving yards and yards of material, a hay wagon?

No, I meant make the unloader on a trailer bed. Trailer is towed by the tractor, hydraulic hoses from the unloader motor to the tractor so it can be unloaded from the cab.

That would be great! Like the live bottom gravel haulers.

I've got yards and yards of stuff to move around the farm, which is about 2000' from south to north, so every trip takes some time.

I'm thinking about getting a small hay wagon like the picture below (1 or 2 ton capacity). My thought is it ought to be fairly easy to unload by using the FEL to back scrape (I know how to do that safely).

I'm also looking for used running gear for a hay wagon.

But I'm open to other low budget approaches for moving stuff around. If I was rich I'd get a dump trailer, but alas... View attachment 142177

I would go to craigslist or facebook market place and look for old farm barge wagons. In my area you can pickup a 7X14 or 8X14 wagon with hoist and sides for a grand or less. There are many of them with steel sides and floors that would work perfect for what your wanting to do.
