Tow behind dump cart that actually dumps?

[seabreeze]

I have a John Deere dump cart that I really like for its capacity:

I put my manure in there (with only two horses now, it holds about three days’ worth) and then hook it up to the mower and tow it way back in the field to dump it. Except it doesn’t dump. It flips up to about a 45-degree angle and the manure just sits there until I manually rake it all out. And that is harder on the ol’ back than it sounds.

I’m over it.

I would love a small, ground-driven spreader, but I understand that they really need to be emptied daily. Our shed for storing the mower is quite a hike from the barn, so it is not practical to hook up the mower and spread every day.

Therefore, I need a dump cart that can be towed behind the mower that actually dumps! Any leads?

Thanks in advance.

Wow, check this out:

I wonder how hard it would be to rig that up? Looks like it would be perfect.

Wow! That is soooo cool!

NorthernTool (and some others) sell actuators that will raise and lower a dump trailer bed…maybe something like that can be adapted to what you have. Unfortunately, many of these small dump trailers have a balance point on the bed that causes what you describe.

This also looks like it might work for you:
