Bri-Mar DTR Low Pro Dump Trailer = Options

While this trailer does not have any special options (other then selecting the green color which was an option at the time of purchase) it has proven to be reliable over the years of use. While there are larger trailers this is a comfortable size to hand-load compost into and it small enough to store in the garage. In addition, it does not need any brakes which reduces the maintenance and potential frustration.

Over the span of 13 years all this trailer has required is some tires, a battery for the hydraulic system (which is the battery used for a generator), and some hydraulic fluid, this has been it and these items are to be expected. The registration and taxes are also minimal meaning the cost of ownership is very favorable.

If someone was considering only one trailer this (or a model in this class) would be “the” trailer to purchase since it can do everything a pumpkin grower needs. Since this is the smallest size trailer that is made by this manufacture others tend to go up a size or two, but the key is the basic category which once experienced it is hard to go back to a pick-up truck bed.
